Settlers Place Condos for Sale

Est. 1991

Intimate Fourth Ward residential block

418 W 8th St, Fourth Ward / Uptown 28202 · Built 1991 · 44 residences · 3 floors

Settlers Place is one of historic Fourth Ward's most intimate residential blocks — a low-rise brick residence with bay windows, gabled rooflines, and a deliberate restraint that integrates seamlessly into the surrounding Victorian streetscape. For buyers who want neighborhood-scale Fourth Ward character, Settlers Place is the structural choice.

Built in 1991, Settlers Place emerged from the second-wave Fourth Ward redevelopment as a deliberate counter to the larger mid-rise residential additions. Its intimate scale — 44 residences across 3 floors — supports a small, tight-knit ownership culture closer to a private courtyard community than a typical condominium.

Buyer profiles concentrate among long-tenured Charlotte residents, design-conscious principals, and a meaningful share of empty-nesters who specifically wanted neighborhood-scale Fourth Ward character.

Pricing tiers concentrate $525K–$700K for two-bedroom, $750K–$1.05M for three-bedroom, and $1.1M–$1.5M for the largest townhome-style residences. The handful of corner units with full street orientation occasionally clear $1.6M+ when they surface.
