The Tatum is located at 6619 Yateswood Dr, Charlotte, NC 28212, on the east side of Charlotte with practical driving access to McAlpine Creek Park and the McAlpine Creek Greenway area. If you are comparing apartments near McAlpine Creek Park, the main value of this location is being within reach of one of Charlotte’s best-known outdoor recreation areas while still living near everyday east Charlotte road corridors.
McAlpine Creek Park matters to renters who use outdoor space as part of a weekly routine, not just an occasional weekend plan. The park is known for walking and running routes, greenway connections, open recreation space, a cross-country course, and nearby dog-friendly amenities, including McAlpine Creek Dog Park. It is a useful local anchor for residents who want room to walk, jog, get outside with a dog, or spend time somewhere greener than a shopping center or parking lot.
From The Tatum, residents typically navigate the area by car using east Charlotte routes such as Albemarle Road, East Independence Boulevard, Monroe Road, North Sharon Amity Road, and W.T. Harris Boulevard, depending on the destination. Those corridors connect to grocery stops, neighborhood restaurants, medical offices, schools, and employment areas across east and southeast Charlotte. As with much of Charlotte, drive times can change quickly during morning and evening traffic, so it is wise to test your actual commute at the time of day you expect to travel.
The floor plans at The Tatum are straightforward: one-bedroom homes in the A1 and A2 layouts, and a two-bedroom B1 layout. Current published floor plan sizes range from 650 to 950 square feet, giving residents a choice between a more compact one-bedroom home and a larger two-bedroom option with two bathrooms. Pricing, move-in dates, deposits, and availability can change, so the leasing office is the best source for current details before you apply.
For residents who spend time outside, the community amenities pair well with a park-focused lifestyle. The Tatum offers a resort-inspired pool, courtyards, grilling and outdoor kitchen space with a large deck, and a pet-friendly setting with pet stations around the property. Clothes care centers and 24-hour emergency maintenance also help with the day-to-day basics that matter after the tour is over.
Inside the homes, features such as spacious walk-in closets, private patios or balconies, exterior storage, multi-cycle dishwashers, large cabinet space, mini blinds, and vertical blinds support practical everyday living. Select homes may include wood-burning fireplaces, linen closets, vaulted ceilings, full-size washer and dryer, and built-in microwaves, so ask the office to confirm which features are included in the specific apartment you are considering.
One honest trade-off: this is not the best fit if you want a car-free lifestyle with the park entrance or greenway access directly outside your door. Most residents should expect to drive or use rideshare for trips to McAlpine Creek Park and for many errands, and nearby roads such as Independence Boulevard and Monroe Road can feel busy during peak travel times.
If being near McAlpine Creek Park is part of your apartment search, schedule a tour or contact The Tatum’s leasing office to compare current one- and two-bedroom availability and confirm which home best matches your routine.
