Myers Park is probably the most well recognized neighborhood in Charlotte. Its boundaries were initially considered to coincide with the boundaries of the 1220-acre John Spring Myers farm. In 2008 the neighborhood comprised 2200 acres and a population of 9,809.
The Myers Park neighborhood is that area bounded by Queens Road on the north; Providence Road on the east; Sharon Road on the south; and Colony, East Woodlawn and South Kings on the west.
Charlotteans today know the Myers Park neighborhood as one of the city's prestige addresses, an area of fine homes, tree-lined streets, and curving drives. Myers Park was the home of many of the textile, banking, and utility leaders responsible for developing the Piedmont Carolinas into a major American manufacturing region in the early twentieth century. 
Myers Park is largely a product of the building boom of the 1920s, though there are a number of residences which have been build since then. The primary style is Colonial Revival, especially the red brick Georgian Colonial borrowed from the Virginia colony.
Bungalow influences are also important, particularly in the few dozen houses dating from the 1910s. The Tudor Revival of the twenties is a third major architectural mode, and it is likely that Myers Park holds the finest collection of Tudor Revival dwellings in North Carolina.
In addition to the new mansions, the decade of the 1920s also saw the founding of the Myers Park Country Club. The Myers Park Country Club reinforced the neighborhood's prestigious image, for this was the era when golf was becoming America's most fashionable executive sport. Today the Club is still an important component of the neighborhood, though it has seen some physical changes over the decades.
