Record Price Per Square Foot in Lombardy Terrace — 1708 Lombardy Circle, Unit C

1708 Lombardy Circle, Unit C | Dilworth

We closed on another Dilworth home this winter — the large, two-car-garage end unit in Lombardy Terrace. And once again, the same theme came up with our buyers: they wanted to walk. To coffee. To dinner. To the park. To a friend's porch a few blocks over.

The Property

Built in 2019 by Simonini, this end unit offered 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths and 2,716 heated living area — plus a side-by-side 2-car garage, a rare feature in Lombardy Terrace. HOA runs $491/month.

The unit had originally sold in 2019 for $947,823. Our sellers had lived there since, and it was time for their next move.

Getting It Market-Ready

Before this one hit the market, we helped coordinate painting and finish work throughout the unit, then brought in professional staging. For marketing, we used drone footage, video and professional photography to give the launch the kind of presentation an end unit like this deserved.

The Result

The home went under contract in January and closed February 13, 2026 for $1,190,000 — $438 per square foot, more than any other unit that has sold in Lombardy Terrace.

That's more than $242,000 above the original 2019 purchase price, and a new price-per-square-foot benchmark for the building.

Why Walkability Keeps Winning in Charlotte

Charlotte is still, in many ways, a driving city. That's exactly what makes neighborhoods like Dilworth stand out. A short list of what draws buyers here specifically for that reason:

Everyday errands become part of the day, not a separate task requiring a car.

Restaurants, coffee shops, and small businesses are woven into residential blocks rather than segregated into a commercial strip.

Front porches and sidewalks encourage the kind of casual neighbor interaction that's harder to come by in newer, more spread-out developments.

Green space - Freedom Park chief among it - is close enough to be a daily option, not a weekend drive.

It's a pattern we see again and again in Dilworth: buyers willing to pay a premium for the ability to live life on foot. It's part of why homes here — and units like Lombardy Terrace — tend to hold and grow their value so consistently, even as the broader Charlotte market shifts.

If walkable, established Charlotte living is what you're after, we'd be glad to talk through what's available — and what tends to move quickly.
