Ballantyne sits on what used to be the Morrison hunting preserve. The 2,000-acre development is practically a town unto itself. Within its borders are a 535-acre corporate park, which includes office buildings, a resort hotel, an 18-hole, daily-fee golf course and the Dana Rader School of Golf.
The Ballantyne area refers to the South Charlotte area outside of the 485-loop between Rea Rd. to the east and Pineville to the west. From Uptown you can take I-77 South to the 485 Outer Loop and take the Johnston Road (521) exit South to hit the heart of the Ballantyne Area.
Housing prices in Ballantyne, which is part of Charlotte's Area 5 real estate location, range from $150,000 to well over $1 million with many communities priced between $300,000 - $500,000.
