|2 min read

A gated 1981 townhome community on North Poplar

Hackberry Court is the gated townhome community at 520 North Poplar Street in Historic Fourth Ward. It is one of the older residential complexes in the neighborhood's post-1976 restoration era — built in 1981, the community arrived five years after the Junior League / UNCC / NCNB revival initiative began. It is an active member of Friends of Fourth Ward.

Historic context

A 1981 townhome community in Fourth Ward is significant: the neighborhood's post-revival residential construction began almost immediately after the 1976 restoration initiative, and buildings from the first few years of that era — Hackberry Court among them — represent the first wave of new construction inside the reclaimed historic district.
