THE NEIGHBORHOODS OF CHARLOTTE... Charmeck Cherry
A stone's throw from the million-dollar homes of Myers Park, this unlikely community of renovated bungalows, public housing and boarded-up buildings is the city's oldest surviving black neighborhood. Cherry was named in 1891, but local historians say the neighborhood probably predates the Civil War. Concord Davidson Dilworth
Charlotte's oldest streetcar suburb, is known for its renovated bungalows and churches. East Boulevard forms the neighborhood's spine, offering restaurants, shops and office space within easy walking distance of nearby homes. Eastover
Developed on two dairy farms southeast of center city, Eastover was the first Charlotte suburb with driveways for "motorcars." The neighborhood's stately homes have long attracted the leaders who helped shape Charlotte's growth, including banker Hugh McColl Jr. and department store scion John Belk. A landmark is the Mint Museum of Art. Elizabeth
It's home to two major hospitals, North Carolina's largest community college and the city's oldest park. But Elizabeth also has a mix of housing, from brick mansions to new townhomes. The neighborhood was home to department store magnate William Henry Belk, and the city's first neighborhood movie theater, the Visulite on Elizabeth Avenue.

Midwood
Just east of the center city, Plaza-Midwood is a hip neighborhood of restored bungalows, funky shops and places to eat. On Central Avenue, you'll find tattoo parlors, antique shops, pawn shops, clothing boutiques and a bookstore. Try a burger at The Penguin or pizza by the slice at Fuel Pizza Cafe, in a restored 1936 filling station. Mint Hill Mooresville Myers Park
There is no better introduction to Charlotte than a drive down Queens Road in Myers Park. Myers Park emerged from a cotton farm in south Charlotte in 1911, when landscape architect John Nolen was hired to create a "garden suburb." Nolen opted for curving streets that followed the landscape. North Davidson (also known as “NoDa”)
The North Davidson Arts District is a former mill neighborhood that has been transformed into a funky arts district with galleries, eateries and performance halls. Stallings Washington Heights
This northwest Charlotte suburb off Beatties Ford Road was developed in 1913 as a suburb especially for middle-income blacks. Today, it's home to a mix of housing, from historic bungalows to new Habitat for Humanity homes and duplexes. Waxhaw Weddington (Town of Weddington) Wilmore
Wilmore has experienced a recent revival, mostly due to its proximity to trendy South End. Urban pioneers have been buying and remodeling its turn-of-the-century bungalows, and developers have started to show interest. Wesley Heights
Developed around 1920, this neighborhood on Charlotte's northwest side is a designated historic district in the shadow of the city's skyline. It's one of the few places in town to get a Dilworth-style bungalow for less than $150,000. But some renovated homes are selling for more than $300,000. |
