Historic Fourth Ward courtyard residence

535 N Graham St, Fourth Ward / Uptown 28202 · Built 1985 · 112 residences · 5 floors

Fourth Ward Square is one of the original modern residential additions to historic Fourth Ward — a low-rise brick courtyard residence whose 1985 design integrated thoughtfully into the surrounding Victorian streetscape. For buyers who want true Fourth Ward character without occupying a Victorian itself, Fourth Ward Square is among the best structural fits.

Built in 1985, Fourth Ward Square emerged from the early Fourth Ward revitalization era as one of the few modern residential projects whose architectural restraint successfully respected the surrounding historic context. The result is a building that feels embedded in the neighborhood rather than dropped into it.

Buyer profiles concentrate among design-conscious principals, empty-nesters who specifically wanted Fourth Ward character, and a meaningful share of long-tenured Charlotte residents whose families have owned in the neighborhood across multiple generations.

Pricing tiers concentrate $475K–$650K for one-bedroom, $725K–$1.05M for two-bedroom, and $1.1M–$1.5M for three-bedroom and townhome-style residences. Penthouse-tier corner units with full courtyard orientation occasionally clear $1.6M+ when they surface.
