Popular Neighborhoods in Charlotte’s Midwood!
Today, Plaza-Midwood is one of Charlotte’s most desired neighborhoods to live in. Just minutes to Elizabeth, NoDa, Uptown and Cotswold, this hood is busting at the seams with delicious restaurants and lots of local businesses- from clothing & jewelry boutiques to yoga studios and soon even a micro-brewery! Established as it is today, it’s hard to believe that Midwood did not officially become a neighborhood until 1973. It was part of a citywide effort to better define Charlotte neighborhoods. Midwood has always been culturally diverse as its streets cross over major thoroughfares like The Plaza and Central Avenue. Did you know many micro communities make up the Midwood that we have come to know and love? Lots in many of these areas are becoming highly sought after.
Here are some of my favorites:
Country Club Heights and Club Acres
These upcoming Midwood neighborhoods are definitely on Charlotte’s real estate market radar.

From sleek & modern to funky & eclectic, Country Club Heights & Club Acres have a style for everyone. Ranging from people who have lived in it & loved it for years to first-time homeowners, this hood’s homes offer up everything from DIY renovation opportunities to unique historic qualities that make your home, your own.
Chatham Estates: The Plaza
An intimate neighborhood with bungalow-lined streets and tall oak trees, Chatham Estates was established in 1912 by Paul Chatham, a real estate developer and former president of the Chatham Woolen Mills (located in Elkin, NC). Chatham Estates was Paul Chatham’s first development endeavor and included streets now known as The Plaza, Nassau Avenue, Tippah Avenue, Thurmond Place, and parts of Mecklenburg, Mimosa, Belvedere, Belle Terre, Chestnut, and Kensington Streets. Mr. Chatham must have been quite prescient to turn an area that was pure farmland into a subdivision. It’s hard to imagine now, but in 1912 the area located around The Plaza was a narrow dirt road, surrounded on both sides by a large strawberry farm.
