The American Investment Company purchased portions of the historic Billy Graham family dairy farm and Morrison Farms of South Charlotte in the early 1950s, intending to build a residential neighborhood of 150 single-family residences upon what is now known as Parkdale.
Original home construction for Parkdale consisted of split level and ranch-style houses typical of that era and suitable to the hilly terrain.
The neighborhood’s main entrance along Park Road at Manning Drive was marked with a sign set in brickwork similar to nearby homes.
Consequently, from this marketing and because of a steady inflow of remodel and new home construction, values of Parkdale properties have increased relatively faster than those in Barclay Downs since 2010.
