With it's fun, hip atmosphere, Plaza Midwood is a very popular place to live in Charlotte. It has been through many evolutions over the years to become the place I am proud to call home today.

It was originally established in the 1920's as a streetcar suburb. The neighborhood thrived up until the 1950's and 60's, when it went into a decline and became a less than desirable place to live. Many of the homes and businesses became dilapidated and run down. Things started to look up in the 1970's, and it's only improved from there to become the thriving hot spot it is today.

The diversity of the architecture and building styles seen throughout Midwood are indicative of the many changes it has seen over the years, but this only adds to the eclecticism that people so love about the neighborhood. There are beautiful estate homes (such as the Van Landingham Estate on the Plaza) charming bungalows, (just take a drive down Thomas Avenue) and contemporary condos (Central 27, Steelhaus) The downtown area has many popular places to grab a bite or a drink, or do some shopping. Some of my favorite things to do are to bike to dinner with some neighbors, or pick up a sandwich at the Common Market for a picnic in Midwood Park.

The average home price is about $415,00, but with a range of $100K to over a million, there is still something for most any budget. There are 108 single family homes on the market right now in this popular neighborhood. The area promises to experience even more positive growth with the upcoming Morningside Project, a $250M+ mixed used development going in between Commonwealth and Central. There is also a proposal for a streetcar to run between Midwood and Uptown, which would be great for the local businesses.

I'd love for you to be my neighbor.
