As we raise our children and talk about what is fair, we always say that everyone deserves a second chance. Well the same goes for neighborhoods and homes! One of our most popular areas of revitalization and growth in the Charlotte area is The Plaza – Midwood neighborhood in Charlotte, NC.  This area was first developed in the 1920’s as one of the streetcar suburbs. Apparently, urban flight of the 1950’s through the 1960’s led this area to suffer and fall into decline. However, in the 1970’s, the area residents realized they needed to preserve the area and they developed a group to do just that. Click Here to go to the Plaza Midwood Website.
