Ballantyne ranked nationally in zip code searches by Realtor.com

A bit of Ballantyne news to share this morning.

Realtor.com, an affiliate of the National Association of Realtors, recently announced their top five zip code searches nationwide for 2013. Taking the #5 spot is our very own 28277.

Top schools, the number of local businesses and shopping centers, and office buildings all make Ballantyne is a desirable place to live, according to a Charlotte Business Journal article.

And a bit of shopping and dining news, also from the Charlotte Business Journal: the Encore! restaurant closed last weekend in the Blakeney Shopping Center. Bravo! Cucina Italiana announced that it will be taking its 6,300 square foot space and will open this spring. According to the group that leases the property, the shopping center is 99% leased. Those of us who live near the busy shopping center know the available space was likely very attractive to expanding restaurant chains!
