Welcome to University City

This thriving and diverse borough of Charlotte is not only home to University of North Carolina at Charlotte, but also where over 20 regional offices for Fortune 500 companies claim residence. Living up to its name, University City has a college-town spirit with an energetic charm and business-oriented pace. On the weekends, this town is bustling with lively student culture among the streets and between the pubs, hot dining spots, and large retail scenes. However, during the week, business is in full swing with dozens of Fortune 500 companies in the University Executive Park, University Research Park and Innovation Park areas. Take a short ride to exciting Uptown, get out and explore nature in nearby Belmont, or enjoy a day of exhilaration at Carowinds Amusement Park! Plus, with the LYNX Blue Line light rail extension and Center City just minutes away, this hip town makes living fun and easy.
