Trendy in town neighborhood near Uptown and NoDa

Druid Hills sits about two miles from Uptown Charlotte and has shifted from a slower, under-resourced area into a fast-changing, in-demand neighborhood. Historic homes and streets now share the spotlight with nearby Camp North End, which brings in art, food and lively events. The area’s new energy, plus easy access to hotspots like NoDa, makes it especially appealing to younger crowds looking for a trendy, growing community close to the city center.

Mix of fixer upper bungalows and newer townhomes

Older, character-filled homes here sit along newer builds here. Classic ranch-style houses and bungalows line many of the streets, though some of these properties need updates and can start in the low $200,000s to low $300,000s. Newer construction, including sleek townhomes and Craftsman-style homes, continues to pop up, and prices for those homes generally range from the mid-$300,000s to mid-$400,000s. “It’s still affordable for Charlotte, and you’re very close to a lot of attractions that would be desirable to the younger homebuyer,” says Realtor Maceon McCracken with Allen Tate Realtors.

If Charlotte could get their school system to be more diverse, the city would be a great place to live. I would also like to see more affordable housing for residents in the area because it seems like the urban areas are now coming into high demand, and the poor are getting pushed out to other areas, or the streets.
