With a new grocer in town, local discount supermarket favorite, Aldi, is really trying to step up its game so that it can compete with Lidl. The two Belmont area Aldi stores, located at 2108 Union Road in Gastonia and 6402 Wilkinson Boulevard in Belmont that have been open for over 10 years are getting a makeover. The company has invested $1.6 billion nationwide to remodel and expand their existing stores and these two locations are part of the mix. The Belmont location, which recently reopened, has had the biggest makeover in the area so far. The Gastonia location has renovations underway and is expected to reopen in mid-May.

Remodeling plans include open ceilings, a new modern design, plenty of natural light and environmentally friendly building materials. The company is also making changes to their food products, including removing added MSG, synthetic colors and partially hydrogenated oils from all of their store branded and private label products.

Furthermore, Eagle Park is conveniently located near major interstates, near Uptown Charlotte, and near the Charlotte Douglas International Airport.

Eagle Park has nine homes on the market, which represents 18 months of inventory, and thus we are looking at a buyer’s market. Belmont as a whole has six months of inventory making it a perfectly balanced market, neither favoring the buyers nor the sellers. Specifically in this neighborhood, however,  buyers seem to have the upper hand.

Furthermore, there has been almost no change in the average price per square foot over the last year. There has, though,  been a slight increase in the average sales price of homes.

Homes currently on the market range in size from almost 1,700 square feet to over 3,000 square feet and range in price from $248,000 to $414,900. you can expect plenty of curb appeal and charming front porches in this beautiful neighborhood.

Belmont is a historic Mill town that features fantastic shopping and dining, and with Eagle Park’s walkability to downtown Belmont, the community has everything you could ask for.
