Dilworth, which began as Charlotte’s first streetcar suburb, was established by Edward Dilworth Latta in the 1890′s and like its neighboring Myers Park, the streets of Dilworth, all with sidewalks and homes with front and wrap-around porches, just remind you of days of old.  Dilworth features lovely and unique bungalows as well as stately mansions and quaint ranch homes–all on the same street!  Dilworth is also home to the Charlotte Metro area’s largest regional, Level 1 trauma hospital, Carolinas Medical Center.  Dilworth also offers walkability to shops and dining as well as easy access to Charlotte’s Lynx light rail service.

 

 

Dilworth’s proximity to Uptown contributes greatly to its solid property values.  The average single-family home price is $476,906, with 2,100-square-feet average home size at $226/SF.  Average list to sales price ratio is 94% and the average days on the market are just over 3 months.  With only a 5-month supply on-hand, it is a seller’s market in the Dilworth community.

Charlotte’s Inner City Communities – Historic Dilworth, Stronger than Ever

In years past, there was serious doubt if several of our inner city communities could be ‘saved’ from the aging that comes with most historic communities throughout the country.  Residents used to move to these communities as young adults, then lived and died there, having done very little to improve the community–being satisfied with the ‘status quo.’

Times have changed since 1891 when our coveted Dilworth community was first developed!  Being Charlotte’s very first streetcar neighborhood, Dilworth was THE place to reside–to be in the suburbs and away from the center city frenzy.  Imagine that!

The 1960’s brought doom and gloom to this once vital community and near the end of the decade, the Dilworth Community Development Association was formed to combat the status quo.  Residents rallied to revive the neighborhood and have been drawing new residents in who have a passion for maintaining the vital, walkable inner city community that Dilworth has become.

The community is filled with variety–from small ranch homes to unique bungalows to corner lot mansions.  The one common thread in Dilworth is the undying dedication and enthusiasm of its residents to keep this wonderfully popular community alive and unique.  Historic preservation is also prevalent in the Dilworth community and the residents will all tell you what a wonderful ‘community’ Dilworth is to live.

With wonderful residents, lovely homes, superb schools, sidewalks leading to fabulous restaurants and unique shops and the close proximity to Charlotte’s Center City, Dilworth truly has it all.  There is no more ‘status quo’ in this inner city community; in fact, Dilworth residents are constantly at work to keep their small sector of the city as inviting and welcoming as one could possibly desire!

If you’re searching for inner city neighborhoods, we are your neighborhood specialists!  We know Dilworth like the backs of our hands and would love to show you this or any of the inner city communities.  We think these are some of the best neighborhoods in which to reside here in Charlotte!

Discover Dilworth, One of Charlotte’s Premier Historic Communities

At the beginning of the Twentieth Century, the fast-growing city of Charlotte had a population of only 18,091. The city  government was supported simply by a mayor, a recorder, and a Board of Aldermen, which included seven members: one from each of the four wards of the city and three elected at large.

The first suburbs of Charlotte formed along the streetcar lines that extended beyond the city.  These suburbs, expanding to the south and east of the city, included:

Dilworth
Elizabeth
Myers Park 
Plaza Midwood

Latta Park was known as the “pleasure resort” and was at the southern end of the street car line. Latta Park sat just outside the city limits and was known as Dilworth, our first REAL suburb!

Historic Dilworth, with its colorful park, boulevards, expansive mansions and inviting bungalow was Charlotte’s earliest “suburban” development.  Built in 1891 by entrepreneur and streetcar owner, Edward Dilworth Latta, his home on East Boulevard, was the showplace of turn-of-the-century Charlotte. Until Latta’s departure from Charlotte in May of 1923, he played a pivotal role in the transformation of the Queen City.

Latta helped expand the city from a modest commercial center of 7,094 inhabitants in 1880, to an industrial and financial metropolis of Piedmont, NC in 1920, boasting a population of 46,338. (Today, the Queen City‘s population is a hefty 731,424, with over 2.5 million in the Charlotte Metro region and is the 17th largest city in the United States)!

Historic Dilworth boasted not only fine residences, but also a race track, ball park, pavilion, lake and an industrial complex which included textile mills and a foundry.  Still today, the Nationally Registered historical neighborhood retains its residential charm while embracing lively, adaptive reuse for commerce, galleries, restaurants and entertainment.

Today, Dilworth envelopes you in tree-lined streets which front beautiful, architecturally designed homes with wrap-around porches as well as quaint little shops and restaurants.  Local merchants offer personal attention as well as an ambiance that is Dilworth’s trademark.  It is now hard to believe that anyone ever considered Dilworth a ‘suburb!’

Come take a tour and see why Dilworth is the choice among many Uptown young professionals and families who love the ’neighborhood’ feel of Dilworth.  Arcihtecture and streetscapes tell the story of Historic Dilworth—and moreover, its recent revival with renovation and new construction have given it yet, another, reason to call Dilworth, Charlotte, NC home.

Charlotte NC Neighborhoods - DILWORTH

At the beginning of the Twentieth Century, the fast-growing city of Charlotte touted a population of only18,091.  The city government was supported by a mayor, a recorder, and a Board of Aldermen, which included seven members: one from each of the four wards of the city and three elected at large.  

The first suburbs of Charlotte formed along the streetcar lines extending out from the city.  These suburbs expanded to the south and east of the city, included Dilworth, Elizabeth, Myers Park, Plaza Midwood.   

Latta Park, known as the “pleasure resort” was at the southern end of the street car line.  Latta Park sat just outside the city limits and was known as the Dilworth community Charlotte NC.  Historic Dilworth, with its colorful park, boulevards, expansive mansions and inviting bungalow was Charlotte’s earliest “suburban” development. 

Built in 1891 by entrepreneur and streetcar owner, Edward Dilworth Latta, whose home on East Boulevard was the showplace of turn-of-the-century Charlotte.  Until Latta’s departure from Charlotte in May, 1923, he played a pivotal role in the transformation of the city from a modest commercial center of 7,094 inhabitants in 1880 into an industrial and financial metropolis of Piedmont, NC in 1920, boasting a population of 46,338.  Today Charlotte's population is a hefty 895,995, with over 2.5 million in the Charlotte Metro region.

Historic Dilworth had not only fine residences, but also a race track, ball park, pavilion, lake and an industrial complex which included textile mills and a foundry.   Still today, the Nationally Registered neighborhood retains its residential charm while embracing lively adaptive reuse for commerce, galleries, restaurants and entertainment. 

Today, Dilworth boasts tree-lined streets fronting beautiful, architecturally designed porch-front homes as well as quaint little shops and restaurants.  Local merchants offer personal attention as well as an ambiance that is Dilworth’s hallmark.  Come take a tour and see why Dilworth is the choice among many Uptown Charlotte NC professionals.  Architecture and streetscapes tell the story of Historic Dilworth—and moreover, of its recent revival with renovation and new construction.
