28211 — Charlotte, North Carolina
A single ZIP code carrying an outsized share of Charlotte's established residential character: Foxcroft, SouthPark, Cotswold, and the eastern reach toward Eastover.
What 28211 Covers
28211 sits in southeast Charlotte, roughly six to eight miles from uptown. It contains Foxcroft, the majority of SouthPark, Cotswold, Sherwood Forest, Stonehaven's western edge, and portions of the Eastover approach. Fairview Road and Sharon Road function as its principal spines; Providence Road forms much of its western reach.
Why the ZIP Code Carries Weight
Three things concentrate here that rarely coexist elsewhere in the metro: a mature hardwood canopy planted sixty and seventy years ago, residential lots that were never subdivided down, and the region's densest cluster of upper-tier retail and dining at SouthPark. That combination is why 28211 addresses read differently on a relocation packet than newer ZIP codes with comparable square footage.
Foxcroft Inside 28211
Foxcroft is the ZIP code's largest-lot neighborhood, bounded by Fairview Road to the north, Sharon Road to the west, Runnymede Lane to the east, and Sharon View Road to the south. Our interactive boundary map shows the exact perimeter, with labeled roads and nearby landmarks.
Schools
Charlotte Country Day sits at the ZIP code's edge on Carmel Road; Charlotte Latin is a short drive south. Public assignment within Charlotte-Mecklenburg Schools is parcel-specific and periodically reviewed — verify by street address, not by ZIP. See the schools guide.
Amenities
SouthPark Mall anchors the ZIP code commercially, with Symphony Park, Phillips Place, and Morrison hosting most of the surrounding dining. Foxcroft Wine Company, Barrington's, Good Food on Montford, and the Symphony Park summer series all sit within the boundary. The dining shortlist covers what's worth the reservation.
Housing Character
The stock ranges from mid-century ranches in Cotswold through preserved 1950s and 60s Georgian and Colonial Revival in Foxcroft, to contemporary custom construction on renovated estate parcels. Density falls sharply as you move from SouthPark's commercial core toward Foxcroft's interior lanes — a half-mile can take you from mid-rise to one-acre.
