Charlotte's first suburb
Dilworth is the manifestation of a dream by developer Edward Dilworth Latta to urbanize Charlotte by creating a mixed-use community filled with beautiful homes, accessible parks and industrial spaces. Established about 2 miles from downtown in 1891, it was Charlotte's original suburb. But today, it's a designated historic district, where a mix of original craftsman homes and new builds sit along wide residential streets lined with age-old trees. "Dilworth is one of the crowned jewels of Charlotte," says Shannon Winkler Lynch, a broker and Realtor with Savvy + Co. Real Estate. Along with its striking homes and beautiful landscapes, Dilworth’s proximity to the city center and the beloved Freedom Park makes it one of Charlotte's most desirable neighborhoods.

Craftsman bungalows and revival-styles dominate
Early homes were mainly bungalows, but developers have since introduced Georgian Revival, Colonial Revival, Cape Cod, Tudor Revival and custom modern homes to the neighborhood. "The houses are just envy-worthy, whether you're living in one of the smaller original homes or the newer mansions," says Lynch, who's been selling in Charlotte since 2011. As a historical district, officials approve all new homes and exterior renovations. Single-family options can start around $555,000, but costs can rise quickly and surpass $3.2 million. More affordable are the townhomes and condos in the area, with modest one-bedrooms starting around $190,000 and larger three- to four-bedroom units going for more than $1.7 million.

Basketball courts, walking trails at Latta Park
The 31-acre Latta Park is one of the neighborhood's most popular amenities and sits in the heart of the community, putting it within walking distance of most homes. Paved walking paths wind through open fields and dense forests past a full-sized Charlotte Hornets-themed basketball court, a picnic pavilion, a splash pad and a playground. Another popular outdoor space is the 98-acre Freedom Park, which sits just outside the neighborhood and is often called the Central Park of Charlotte. It boasts a 7-acre lake, a Carolina Panthers-branded obstacle course, and over a dozen sports courts and fields. The annual Festival in the Park is the standout event held here, welcoming Charlotteans and visitors to the grounds each Spring to enjoy music, local fare, and block party activities.

Annual events hosted by the Dilworth Community Association
Dilworth has over 1000 historically significant structures, which has led the community to celebrate its historic charm through an annual neighborhood home tour hosted by the Dilworth Community Association. A handful of residents volunteer to open their homes or businesses to tour groups as part of the event, which functions as the DCA's primary fundraiser. The neighborhood group also hosts the annual Dilworth Jubilee in Latta Park, a free festival with a pet parade, live music, food trucks and craft beer vendors. The Yiasou Greek Festival is a popular cultural event held at Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Cathedral that has been deemed the biggest block party in Charlotte.
Easy access to public Charlotte Area Transit buses
The neighborhood is close to almost everything of note in Charlotte, from city-center offices to the Panthers' Bank of America Stadium to the beloved Freedom Park. To get downtown (which locals refer to as “Uptown”), residents can easily hop in the car or catch a public Charlotte Area Transit System bus, which stops along several major thoroughfares. The Charlotte light rail system, which leads downtown, is also within reach, with the East/West Station sitting less than 1 mile outside the neighborhood. To travel internationally, residents can head about 7 miles west on U.S. Route 74 to Charlotte Douglas International Airport.
