Home sales were down across the board last year in Mecklenburg County, with one exception.

28216 is Mecklenburg’s lone ZIP code that saw an increase in home sales in 2023, rising 4% — or by 30 closings — to 786 from 756. That ZIP code is northwest of center city, covering neighborhoods near Johnson C. Smith University such as McCrory Heights and Washington Heights, up Beatties Ford Road toward the Mountain Island area.
