NODA / ARTS DISTRICT

NoDa is a perfect blend of vintage and modern. This trendy neighborhood is made up of authentic art, diverse cultures, live music and experiences for everyone. Restored industrial buildings, that are now condos, charming bungalows and historic homes dot the landscape of this colorful neighborhood. NoDa is now the home to Charlotte’s best collection of galleries, restaurants, eclectic shops, theaters and more.

Plaza Midwood

Plaza Midwood is a shining example of the revitalization Charlotte’s older, in-town neighborhoods are experiencing. Residents in “the know” will tell you Plaza Midwood continues to be one of the ever emerging neighborhoods. Plaza Midwood is a stones throw away from Uptown Charlotte with a view of the skyline from almost every street. Some of the city’s most interesting art galleries, funky boutiques, and delectable eateries can be found in this lively neighborhood.

Quail Hollow

This area is landmarked by the Quail Hollow Club, which is home to the legendary Wells Fargo Championship PGA Tournament. While the neighborhood offers some casual dining, boutiques and retail properties, the majority of the neighborhood consists of residential properties. Location is key for Quail Hollow, which is comfortably located between SouthPark and Ballantyne, adding to the neighborhood’s desirability.

South End

This historic neighborhood began to flourish in the 1850’s, shortly after the first railroad line connected Charlotte to both of South Carolina’s major cities, Charleston and Columbia. The charming mills and warehouses that made up this neighborhood lost their luster for a short time, as the industrial market declined. The 1990’s brought restaurants, retailers and businesses driven by creativity that revived the area and restored these authentic buildings. Over the last few years, residential construction has found it’s foothold in South End and has been a convenient place to live, due to it’s close proximity to Uptown Charlotte.

Southpark

This enchanting area encompasses several historic neighborhoods: Foxcroft, Barclay Downs, Selwyn Park, Morrocroft, Beverly Woods and Beverly Woods East. The tree-lined streets create a natural beauty and setting for classic homes, trendy restaurants and businesses. The neighborhood is named after the upscale SouthPark Mall – the place to go for retail therapy. When it comes to shopping in Charlotte, it doesn’t get much better than in SouthPark, with a wide array of posh boutiques and high-end retails.

Uptown

The heavy pulse of the city starts at the corners of Trade Street and Tryon Street, as this was the point where two Native American trails once intersected. This point currently divides Uptown into quadrants, which make up first through fourth ward. The collection of these wards make for an upscale and vivid neighborhood, which many professionals consider home. From the stunning skyline and easy transportation to the energetic nightlife and amazing culinary delights, this neighborhood is bustling, yet low key.
