Get to know Plaza Midwood

Plaza Midwood is a thriving urban neighborhood that lies just one mile east of Uptown Charlotte. Established as a so-called “streetcar suburb” around 1910, the area boomed through the decades preceding WWI, though experienced a subsequent downturn in the latter 20th century until its revitalization at the hands of the Plaza Midwood Neighborhood Association. Since the mid-1990s, however, Midwood has been more vibrant than ever. This exciting, central locale today boasts some of the most eclectic shopping, dining, and entertainment in all of Charlotte, along with a packed annual calendar of community events and activities. You’ll find a medley of single-family homes, apartments, and townhouses representing an array of vintages and architectural styles—historic, converted mill houses uniquely among them. And as if it wasn’t already a hole in one, Plaza Midwood’s eastern border even extends over several holes of the Charlotte Country Club links.

Living in Charlotte

The Charlotte area was the site of America’s first gold rush, prompted in 1799 when 12-year-old Conrad Reed found a whopper of a nugget playing in a Cabarrus County creek. Today, people are drawn here by other lodes: booming commerce, vibrant culture, and a subtropical climate that’s palpably milder than just a state or two north. Greater Charlotte represents the fourth-largest metropolitan region in the Southeast and one of the fastest-growing in the entire country. Nearly three million make their home in the 16 counties surrounding the “Queen City,” located in both North and South Carolina—they’ve gained nearly 20% of their collective population over the past decade alone. Countless companies across all industries maintain headquarters, if not a substantial presence, in Charlotte’s thriving urban core, most notably the finance, technology, and higher education sectors. And while “Metrolina” is all well inland, water-borne recreation thrives on Lake Norman, the largest manmade lake in the state, and throughout the Catawba River basin.
