How to Utilize Your Rooftop Terrace in Charlotte, NC

Outdoor living is one of the many perks of a townhome that features a “Rooftop Terrace” where you can enjoy the fresh air and an expansive view of your neighborhood and the city. Whether you’re hosting a barbecue during the dog days of summer, an al fresco dinner once the temperatures begin to drop in the fall, spending a cozy morning with a blanket and a cup of tea in the winter, or throwing spring’s first big soiree, a rooftop terrace in Charlotte, NC is truly a four-season living space. 

But a rooftop terrace is only as functional as its setup, so make the most of your space by turning it into an area that you’re delighted to spend time in. From outfitting it with the proper furniture for the way you live to making sure there’s shade, adequate lighting for evening occasions, and even a few touches of greenery, here are 8 ways you can best utilize your rooftop terrace this summer and beyond.

1. Carve Out an Outdoor Seating and Dining Area

Outfit your outdoor space with furniture that will be the most functional for you, your family, and friends. Create a comfortable and inviting space with lounge chairs and sofas with outdoor cushions gathered around a giant coffee table, perfect for entertaining with a charcuterie board. Or, if you prefer to host dinner parties, opt for an outdoor dining table and chairs that will allow you to create that magical al fresco ambiance you’ve been dreaming of. And, of course, you can do both!

2. Create an Oasis with Greenery and Gardens

The sunny exposure of a rooftop terrace is perfect for growing plants, flowers, and herbs. Plus, they’ll add to a relaxing, serene atmosphere. Choose full sun-loving plants that grow well in containers, like citrus trees, lavender, basil, and succulents. You can also get creative with vertical, climbing gardens that make the most of your space. However, make sure to water your plants regularly since the sun exposure on a rooftop terrace can be intense, particularly on hot days.

3. Provide Shade and Privacy

Speaking of direct exposure to the sun, adding an umbrella can be a welcome respite on hot days. Spring for a table with an umbrella stand to give your rooftop a café-worthy look.

4. Install Lighting

Ambient lighting can elevate your rooftop terrace to feel like a chic hotel. Install string lights and lanterns to add that twinkly quality that not only lets you use your rooftop at night, but that makes it feel like a destination. Just imagine the lingering rooftop dinner parties you’ll host under the bistro lights.

5. Add Entertainment Options

Football season will be here soon and the only thing better than tailgating at the stadium is inviting friends over to watch the game on your rooftop terrace. You have all the benefits of the crisp fall air but with immediate access to your fridge. Install an outdoor entertainment area with a TV, sound system, and lounge seating, and you’ll be ready for every sporting event and movie night alike. 

6. Dedicate a Yoga or Exercise Space

Outdoor yoga, stretching, or exercise is one of those pleasures in life that makes a weekday or weekend morning feel relaxing and indulgent. With fresh air and birds chirping, a down dog becomes an almost meditative experience. And all you need to create that feeling at home is an area on your rooftop terrace just big enough for a yoga mat. Keep a small outdoor trunk on your rooftop where you store various exercise equipment and you’ll always be ready to move.

7. Make a Cozy Relaxation Zone

Whether it’s a sunny spring morning or a chilly winter afternoon, relaxing on the rooftop terrace with a good book and a cup of tea instantly transports you to vacation mode. Make your own cozy relaxation zone by adding a few outdoor throw pillows and dedicating one blanket that you always use outdoors.

8. Work From Home on the Rooftop

If you work from home, there’s no reason not to take your WFH setup outside on a beautiful day. Grab your laptop and take a seat at your dining table, or get comfortable on your outdoor sectional transforming it into your own personal office. Have an extension cord handy in case you need to plug in.

Purchasing a townhome in Charlotte, NC is not only a smart real estate investment, it’s an investment in your day-to-day life.

4 Reasons Charlotte, NC a Good Place to Invest in Real Estate

If you already live in Charlotte, you know this big city offers a quality of life you can’t find anywhere else. From charming neighborhoods with walkability, restaurants, and vibrant communities to world-class NBA and NFL sports teams and performing arts venues to a warm friendliness you’ll only find in North Carolina, there are countless reasons to call this place home.

And that’s exactly why it’s a great place to invest in real estate. Charlotte is only going to continue to grow and purchasing a townhome in Charlotte now puts you ahead of the curve. 

1. Big City Amenities and Small Town Charm

Big cities don’t always have a reputation for smiling neighbors, always ready to lend a hand. However, in Charlotte, you’ll get all of the urban advantages — restaurants, shops, shows, and a major international airport — but with unbeatable small town charm. From local spots where everyone knows your name to parks, walking trails, and rec leagues, the warmth and community feel of Charlotte make it a place everyone wants to move to. 

2. Job Market Growth

Because of a favorable corporate tax and moderate taxes for workers, Charlotte continues to attract major companies and talented employees to the Queen City. Thanks to Bank of America’s initial entry into the market, finance has been a mainstay in Charlotte for several decades, but Fortune 500, tech, and fintech companies are now joining the party. With companies inviting more workers to explore Charlotte, that means they’ll need places to live. As long as the jobs keep coming, an investment in Charlotte real estate is a sure thing.

3. Affordable Cost of Living

According to Forbes, the cost of living in Charlotte is lower than the national average, which is a draw for anyone looking for a more affordable way of life. Plus, over 40% of Charlotte’s population has moved from another state in search of the slower, Southern lifestyle that Charlotte has to offer. 

4. Rising Property Values

All of this adds up to property values that are only going to continue to rise — which is why you should look to buy now. Over the course of 2022, property values in Charlotte rose nearly 6% and Zillow predicts Charlotte will be the United States’ hottest housing market in 2023. Yes, that’s in the entire country!

How to Build Equity through Home Ownership in Charlotte

When you invest in a home in a market that’s increasing in value, you start building equity almost immediately. Equity is the amount of home you actually own – thanks to your downpayment + subsequent mortgage payments + the increase of your property value in the marketplace. This amount is what you walk away with after selling, which is your sales price minus your outstanding mortgage balance. 

How to Find the Right Townhouse to Invest in

In order to increase your equity as you’re exploring investment opportunities in Charlotte, NC, you’ll want to focus on the areas where property values are increasing rapidly. The easiest way to do that is to invest in an area that is desirable. Look for walkability, convenience, and access to the city’s many amenities. At Hopper Communities, that’s why we’re all about location, location, location. From the Lower South End and West End to Davidson and Barclay Downs, our townhomes are in neighborhoods that will maximize your ROI.

Additionally, look for a high quality, but low maintenance home. You want something that will look as good as new, even long after you’ve signed the closing papers. Hopper Communities focuses on luxury finishes, but without the upkeep of a single family home. Move in and enjoy — then sell or rent and make a pretty penny on your investment. And, when you’re buying with the Home Builder of the Year (no big deal!), you’re guaranteed to buy a quality home.

Are you ready to buy that one-way ticket to Charlotte, NC yet? Check out our available homes and let’s talk, the cost of living in Charlotte is lower than the national average, which is a draw for anyone looking for a more affordable way of life!

The Advantages of Living in a Townhome (Plus, Three Frequently Asked Questions!

For buyers looking for a new townhome in the top locations in Charlotte, NC, specifically those looking at close-in urban areas like Lower South End and Barclay Downs, townhome communities have become an increasingly popular option.

With the benefits and convenience of city living and the friendly, community-driven neighborhoods, many Charlotte, NC townhomes are attractive for buyers, including first-time homeowners, young professionals, families, and retirees looking to downsize. They realize that townhouse real estate offers advantages including minimal or low maintenance living, affordable prices, and the opportunity to leverage a townhome purchase as an investment.

Let’s take a look at a few of the advantages of living in a townhome and the frequently asked questions about how it compares to other options for buying your dream home.

Cost

With rising interest rates, the bottom line is on many buyers’ minds. Townhomes are typically priced lower than single family homes when comparing apples to apples properties, which makes them an excellent option for first time buyers and also a smart investment move for those looking for the lowest price per square foot in a hot area. You’ll still get the multi-level living of a single family home, with bedrooms that are on separate floors from your main living areas, but at a lower price point.

Convenience

Townhomes, which have at least one wall attached to another home, provide higher density living than suburban neighborhood options, particularly when they’re located in convenient areas that have short commutes into the city and walkability to shops and restaurants. If you want the bustle of the city, but with the buffer of a neighborhood, townhomes fit the bill.

Low Maintenance Living

While you may still be responsible for parts of the exterior of your own townhome, there’s a Homeowners Association (HOA) that is in charge of maintaining the exterior of the building, common outdoor spaces and any shared property. Townhome owners can also take part in the “lock and leave” lifestyle that is becoming more and more attractive to homeowners. Lock and leave refers to the freedom of being able to literally lock up and leave the home for days or weeks without having to worry about safety or keeping up the exterior of the home.

How does living in a townhome compare to a single family home?

A single family home is often thought of as the American dream, but the townhome has been a staple in cities across the country for nearly two centuries. But, for buyers who have zero desire to pick up a lawnmower, townhome living can provide a low maintenance option, particularly if you have minimal outdoor space or if that outdoor space is managed by an HOA.

Plus, there’s often an increased sense of community with a townhome since you are in closer proximity to your neighbors. While you have privacy when you want it, block parties and barbecues are easy to organize and let you immerse yourself in the community if that’s a priority to you.

How does living in a townhome compare to a condo?

Often, townhomes and condos are looked at by a similar pool of buyers. They often have comparable and affordable price points, they’re both often in desirable close-to-the-city areas, and they appeal to buyers who are looking for a lower maintenance style of living.

But, when you buy a townhome, you get a sense of privacy that simply isn’t possible with a condo in a building with shared entrances, hallways, and lobbies. A townhome typically has a private entryway, sometimes a garage, and multiple floors. It lives like a single family home, just with another house attached on at least one side. With condos, your neighbors are right upstairs, downstairs, and, often, to either side. No matter how well insulated a building is, there will likely be noise.

Also, with a condo, you almost always have an HOA that controls building decisions and may charge expensive fees to keep up common spaces and outdoor areas. Townhomes may also have HOAs, but they’re often less expensive and cover upkeep including landscaping and common areas.

How do bills compare from a single family home to a townhome?

While it’s all relative to how big of a house and townhome you’re comparing, typically townhomes are smaller than single family homes. And smaller square footage means less space to heat and cool. Additionally, most townhomes that are built well are insulated just as sufficiently as a single family home, plus, with the exception of end units, they don’t lose heat or cool air through the sides. This all translates into lower electricity and utility bills.

Plus, here’s why buying a townhouse could be a great investment in 2023

Real estate is traditionally thought of as a solid investment, and, if you buy in one of the best townhome locations in Charlotte, you’re almost certainly going to watch your equity and property value grow.

Plus, with an increasing number of young professionals moving to the area each and every year, there are investment real estate opportunities in buying a townhome, living in it for a few years, and then renting it when you’re ready to move to a larger (or smaller!) home. There will always be renters at the ready, eager to sign a lease in a convenient location to the city, and, because of the nature of townhomes being lower maintenance, with an HOA to cover many of the larger projects and, sometimes, even yard maintenance, there’s less for you to worry about as a landlord.

And, if you’re toying with the idea of a condo v.s. a townhome for an investment property, know that with a townhome, you’ll own the land that the home sits on, unlike a condo. Plus, with a townhome, there is more privacy than a condo, and that also means fewer neighbors to worry about, whether that’s an upstairs neighbor who doesn’t realize they’re stomping late at night or the neighbor down the hall who would prefer fewer units are rented to tenants.
