With their urban sophistication and modern amenities, The Edge and The Brinkley are nestled on the perimeter of the vibrant, high-energy South End neighborhood along the city’s Lynx light rail line. The Edge and The Brinkley truly offer an unparalled living experience, where you can walk to dozens of South End bars, breweries and restaurants but remain tucked away from urban noise and busy streets.
About the South End Neighborhood
The history of South End goes back to the mid-1800s, when gold was discovered here and a railroad line passed through. Over the next few decades, a number of textile mills popped up, including Atherton Mill, which has since been transformed into a popular destination, though it maintains its historic brick walls. There you’ll find trendy shops like Anthropologie and lululemon along with some of Charlotte’s best restaurants such as Indaco and O-Ku.
The Lynx Blue Line light rail runs 19 miles from I-485 through South End and Uptown to the University City area with 26 stations, including New Bern Station, just a quarter-mile from The Edge and The Brinkley. The Rail Trail, a multi-purpose trail that parallels the light rail line through South End, is a popular spot for running, biking or walking your dog and features public art and murals along the way.
