Elizabeth

To the east of the Uptown lies Elizabeth, Charlotte's second suburb, with features similar to Dilworth: grid-style streets, restored front-porch bungalows and sidewalks for wandering. Here you'll find the beautiful Independence Park (Charlotte's oldest) and Seventh Street shops and restaurants. Central Piedmont Community College (CPCC) is located on the westernmost side of Elizabeth. One of the major projects in the area is the $240 million, ten-year Elizabeth Avenue redevelopment plan, is a collaborative effort between Grubb Properties, Presbyterian Hospital and Central Piedmont Community College and encompasses a six-block area between the two institutions. This project envisions combining office, retail, schools and open spaces into a walkable area. Another major project nearby is the redevelopment of the former Midtown Square Mall. A Home Depot Expo design center is scheduled to be one of the first tenants. Elizabeth enjoys a mix of housing, from large stately mansions to small bungalows and new townhomes, it can be found here.
