Projects in Matthews
Matthews sits southeast of Charlotte and pairs a genuine small-town core with established residential streets and newer custom construction. The historic downtown around Trade and John Streets hosts the long-running Matthews Community Farmers' Market, independent restaurants, and Stumptown Park events, while neighborhoods such as Sardis Plantation, Brightmoor, and Callonwood offer mature lots and larger homes. Housing ranges from 1970s ranches near $400,000 to renovated and custom residences above $1.5 million, and buyers are drawn by Union County-adjacent convenience, Novant Health Matthews Medical Center, and quick access to Independence Boulevard and I-485.

Matthews combines a genuine small-town core with established subdivisions and pockets of newer construction. Prices sit below the south Charlotte luxury corridors, which makes substantial renovation economically sensible across most of the housing stock.

Building and renovating in Matthews
The Town of Matthews administers its own zoning and permitting, distinct from the City of Charlotte. Downtown-adjacent properties have smaller lots and older infrastructure; subdivision properties typically have HOA review for exterior work.
What to plan for
- Confirm whether the address is under Town of Matthews or Mecklenburg County jurisdiction
- Older downtown-area homes may need service panel and plumbing upgrades
- Additions are often more cost-effective here than moving up in price bracket
- Verify HOA rules in subdivision neighborhoods before exterior changes
