The Edge and The Brinkley truly offer the best of both worlds, where you can walk to dozens of South End bars, breweries and restaurants, but are tucked away from the noise and busy streets.
About the South End & Sedgefield 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 been transformed into a destination within its historic brick walls, where you’ll find trendy shops like Anthropologie and lululemon along with some of Charlotte’s best restaurants like 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.
