About Coulwood

Coulwood is one of west Charlotte's established 1970s–1990s family neighborhoods along Bellhaven Boulevard and the Mount Holly-Huntersville Road corridor. The neighborhood sits within easy reach of the Mountain Island Lake waterfront, the U.S. National Whitewater Center, and the Latta Plantation Nature Preserve. Brick ranches, splits, and traditional two-stories on tree-canopied lots make Coulwood a steady second-cycle re-roof market — most original cedar-shake and 3-tab roofs have been replaced once and many are now due for designer-architectural upgrades.
