Urban Neighborhoods in Charlotte, NC
Nestled between Uptown’s high-rises and Charlotte’s southeastside suburbs are what many consider the jewels of the Queen City’s residential crown - its original streetcar suburbs. As you travel the broad, tree-lined, leaf-canopied streets you’ll see the Charlotte of the turn of the last century and pre-World War II.
Welcome to Plaza-Midwood, a neighborhood comprising several smaller subdivisions. Plaza-Midwood traces its development back to 1903, when the first roads and trolley line were laid among the trees. The community is bordered by Central Avenue and The Plaza.
Central Avenue has enjoyed a great deal of redevelopment lately that complements its antique shops and vintage clothing stores. New restaurants and entertainment venues have made it a hot destination.
The Plaza is a residential boulevard lined with stately old homes, including the historic Van Landingham Estate, which is available to rent for special events.
The wide variety of homes in Plaza-Midwood may be the draw behind its diverse population. This is one of the few historic neighborhoods ringing Uptown where you will still find charming, affordable homes among larger, expensive homes. As with other historic neighborhoods, Plaza-Midwood is seeing its share of infill projects where the price per square foot is relatively high.
Charlotte Country Club, the city’s oldest country club, is surrounded by grand homes dating back to 1920. The Country Club’s quiet, curving streets blends seamlessly with those of Plaza-Midwood, making the two communities seem singular.
