Dilworth, one of Charlotte's most iconic neighborhoods, combines historic charm with urban convenience, creating an ideal blend of community and cosmopolitan feel. Known for its tree-lined streets and bungalow-style homes, Dilworth was Charlotte’s first "streetcar suburb," founded in the late 1800s, and has since retained its historic character with many restored early 20th-century homes, especially along streets like East Boulevard.

Key Neighborhood Features:
