"Located southeast of center city Charlotte, Eastover was the first suburb with driveways for ômotorcars.ö The neighborhood's stately homes have long attracted the leaders who helped shape Charlotte's growth. One major landmark is The Mint Museum of Art. Eastover is also home to one of Charlotte's oldest Elementary Schools (Eastover Academy). The area is considered one of the finest historic neighborhoods in the Charlotte area. Parks, public tennis courts and quaint, local shops and restaurants are within walking distance."
