Around Cotswold

Cotswold offers a wide range of housing options that will suit just about any lifestyle and budget. Throughout the area you’ll find everything from quaint ranch-style homes and older, more established and affordable rental options to large million dollar mansions situated along streets like Cotswold Place. There’s also a variety of high-end townhomes featuring rooftop terraces and multi-car garages, as well as new, luxe apartment complexes with resort-style amenities. Cotswold is also home to several age-restricted active adult communities, which are a rarity so close to the city’s center.

Choices are aplenty when it comes to restaurants in Cotswold. Take your pick from fares ranging from traditional Mediterranean recipes at Mezeh Mediterranean Grill to spicy noodle dishes at Thai House to local pizza joints like The Pizza Peel & Tap Room. The Improper Pig is a local favorite that serves up hearty Southern favorites and Carolina barbecue. Common Market Oakwold is also a go-to for locals who want to hangout and dine on delicious made-to-order sandwiches like the Pimento Deluxe, which consists of a large helping of pimento cheese, bacon, and tomatoes on locally-made sourdough bread. For a sweet tooth fix, stop by Swirl Bakery or Yum Yum Crumbs.

The intersection where Randolph Road and Sharon Amity Road meet is the heart of Cotswold where you’ll see shopping, dining, and banking options in all directions. The Cotswold Village shopping center anchors the area and boasts a Harris Teeter as well as a mixture of big box stores along with a few local fitness studios. You’ll also find a wide variety of dining options directly off the main intersection, including fast food options where there’s always a long line wrapped around the building, as well as sit-down restaurants.

If you like to keep it low-key and want to stay in the neighborhood, grab dinner at The Pizza Peel & Tap, Leroy Fox Cotswold, or Superica, then belly up to their respective bars and sip on a few cocktails. Other than local restaurants that have bars, options are fairly limited when it comes to things to do on a Friday night in Cotswold. But, if you’re looking for a more lively evening out, head to Uptown, which is less than 10 minutes away. There, you’ll find plenty of entertainment options to keep you busy, including a movie theater, bowling alley, sports bars, Irish pubs, and nightclubs.

If you’re an early riser, go straight to Poppy’s Bagels to snag a New York-style bagel before they sell out. If you like to sleep in, no problem. Neighborhood staple, Eddie’s Place Restaurant serves its famous breakfast all day. Once you’ve indulged in pancakes as big as the plate or a dish of chicken and waffles smothered in syrup, you can spend a leisurely Sunday afternoon at The Charlotte Swim and Racquet Club, or head to nearby Uptown to visit one of Charlotte’s many museums like the Mint Museum Uptown, Discovery Place, and Bechtler Museum of Modern Art.

Cotswold residents rely heavily on having cars to complete their daily tasks and errands. While individual shopping centers are walkable, the neighborhood overall isn’t very walkable. It’s also not very bike-friendly with only a few bike lanes scattered around. Public transportation options are also exceedingly limited in Cotswold with only a couple of Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) bus stops for the Green local service route on Randolph and Providence Roads. There is no direct access to the LYNX Blue Line Light Rail from Cotswold.
