What brings the entertainment,
dining and shopping all together is the Lynx Light Rail. The name of the train is fitting, as it “lynx” Charlotte residents to each other and to uptown activity. Completed in November 2007, the Charlotte Area Transit System created the 9.6 mile-long line that runs from I-485 near Pineville to the midsection of Charlotte and through uptown to 7th Street. CATS real estate devel- opment specialist Tina Votaw says the popularity of the light rail has exceeded CATS’ expectations. “Ridership is higher than project-
ed. We estimated 9,100 riders per day, but now we’re seeing 12,000 to14,000,” she points out. For Charlotte residents, the train
has become an easy, inexpensive way to get in and out of Uptown for work and entertainment. One round-trip adult ticket is just $2.60,
which is cheaper than parking alone. Uptown provides a wide range
of housing options, from one- room studios to lofts to apartments and condos with more traditional
$150,000 for a small condo to $5 million for a penthouse. Apart- ments rent from $750 for a studio to $3,000 or more for a multi-bed- room unit. Rob Cummings, the former presi- dent of the Fourth Ward Neighbor-
