Charlotte NC--Spacious 3BR DILWORTH Townhome--A RARE Find!

Dilworth, one of the most historical neighborhoods in Charlotte was known the "streetcar suburb," built around Uptown to accommodate trolley commuting.  Other  'suburb' areas of Charlotte that were formed along the streetcar lines, extending out from the city, were Elizabeth, Myers Park and Plaza Midwood.

The trolley is a popular attraction to newcomers in Charlotte and is always the highlight of the little ones on the tour!

Latta Park  was known as the "pleasure resort" was located at the southernmost END of the streetcar line!   Latta Park is now a gorgeous 31-acre community park and is managed by Mecklenburg County Parks and Recreation.  View map of Latta Park here.historic Dilworth home

Fast forward to Charlotte, 2008:  Dilworth is a mere hop, skip and jump to Uptown and is miles away from the southernmost ‘suburbs' of present day Charlotte!  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.latta home

Sitting just outside the city limits, an area known as Dilworth became home to a showplace residence built by streetcar owner, Edward Dilworth Latta.  His 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.  

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.

Debe, I absolutely loved the historical perspective you gave us all on Dilworth, as the streetcar suburb, and surrounding your townhome with this extra information. Charlotte definitely has some history behind it.
