Sardis Plantation
A Quiet, Established Corner of Matthews Living
Sardis Plantation is one of Matthews' classic established subdivisions, built between 1987 and 1997 by William Trotter Co. just inside the Matthews town line off Sardis Road North. Its tree-canopied streets, sidewalks, and traditional brick-and-siding homes have made it a steady, well-liked address for families who want a quiet, tight-knit neighborhood feel without giving up quick access to the rest of south Charlotte.
The community's roughly 900 residents share a clubhouse pool, tennis and pickleball courts, a playground, a fishing pond, and about three miles of walking trails, the kind of everyday amenities that keep neighbors out on the sidewalks and streets. Downtown Matthews and the Arboretum Shopping Center are both under three miles away, and quick access to US-74 and I-485 makes commutes into Charlotte, Ballantyne, or Uptown a short, predictable drive.
