A neighborhood with academic history
Established in the late 1800s, Biddleville is considered Charlotte’s oldest predominantly Black neighborhood. Its history is closely tied with Johnson C. Smith University, which was once known as the Biddle Memorial Institute. “When Biddleville Institute began right after The Civil War to train preacher and teachers among the formerly enslaved population, the Biddleville neighborhood sprung up across Beatties Ford Road,” says Dr. Tom Hanchett, a Charlotte community historian. “Much later on, other neighborhoods surrounded Biddleville, so what had been a rural village next to an academy became an urban neighborhood.” Today, the neighborhood is a mix of students, longtime residents and new residents relocating from around the country. Sometimes Biddleville is paired with neighboring community, Smallwood. The two neighborhoods have an active community association that fosters both a social environment and a forum for residents to discuss neighborhood issues.
Johnson C. Smith University is an historic school of Charlotte in the Biddleville area.
Harris Teeter and other grocery needs are available in and around Biddleville.

Homes that grow in value
The neighborhood doesn’t have a typical block pattern with a central square and instead has rows of houses, many of which predate World War II. Bungalows and ranch-style homes feature elements of Craftsman and Arts and Crafts styles. Many of the transitional and Craftsman homes were built within the past two decades. "As there's been more corporate investment in Center City over the past 10 years, the homes have been steadily appreciating," says Realtor Sally Awad, who sells homes in the area with the Sally Awad Group. Housing prices range from $326,000 for a 1920s 2-bedroom home needing renovation to $880,000 for a 5-bedroom 1940s home that has recently been completely rebuilt. Some housing, like the Mosaic Village, is designed specifically for students and young professionals. Sixty-five percent of residents are renters.

Five Points Plaza is a public space for various activities, including splashing in the fountain, enjoying music at the amphitheater or sitting outside eating pizza or frozen custard from the nearby eateries. The plaza is open every day from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m.
