Dilworth, A Tribute to Charlotte's History

Some of the most famous neighborhoods in Charlotte were known the "streetcar suburbs,” those built around Uptown to accommodate trolley commuting. The first suburbs of Charlotte that were formed along the streetcar lines, extending out from the city, were Dilworth Elizabeth, Myers Park and Plaza Midwood.

Latta Park, known as the “pleasure resort” was at the far southern end of the streetcar line! Sitting just outside the city limits, an area known as Dilworth became home to a showplace residence built by streetcar owner, Edward Dilworth Latta. is home, built in 1891 was the showplace of turn-of-the-century Charlotte, an expansive mansion surrounded by inviting bungalows and was in what was considered Charlotte’s first “suburban” development.
Those of you who live in Charlotte, know that Dilworth is a mere hop, skip and jump to Uptown and is miles away from the southernmost ‘suburbs’ of Charlotte at present! Dilworth remains one of Charlotte’s oldest, most popular areas to reside, work and play! Dilworth is known for its’ craftsman style bungalows, many of which have been renovated time after time, maintaining unprecedented historic values.
Dilworth is a true ‘neighborhood’ with front porches leading to traditional sidewalks, leading to eclectic shops, offices, and restaurants, all within walking distance. One gets a true sense of community when simply driving through Dilworth. Massive churches and tree-lined streets further welcome you to this lovely historic community.

Dilworth is one of Charlotte’s oldest “streetcar suburbs” and is known for its craftsman style bungalows, massive churches and tree-lined streets. Dilworth is a ‘true’ neighborhood with homes, many of which have large front porches, leading to traditional sidewalks. Those sidewalks connect eclectic shops, offices and restaurants, all within walking distance.

New condominiums and townhomes have replaced older homes and vacant land in many areas of Dilworth. Few other areas in Charlotte continue to appreciate at the rate that Dilworth, Myers Park and Eastover have appreciated. Homeowners of all ages enjoy the ambiance, the neighborhood-of-old feel that is only found in Dilworth! Come visit Charlotte and take a tour of lovely Dilworth while you’re here—you’ll be captivated like the rest of us!
