Experience University City’s Iconic Open-Air Shopping

You’ll love The Boardwalk, beautifully located in the burgeoning “city within a city” that is University City, now the second largest employment center in Charlotte and home to UNC Charlotte, a vibrant 1,000-acre campus and the region’s preeminent research university.

You’ll find great eats and treats—from seafood, ribs and Mexican cuisine to wine, boba tea and decadent desserts—there’s something for everyone. 

The Boardwalk features the shops and lifestyle services you’re looking for, whether it’s your next favorite fashion find or pampering yourself with a salon experience.
