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.
