Active living in Charlotte's arts district
North Charlotte’s salvaged industrial structures and historic homes shape one of the Queen City's trendiest neighborhoods. This homegrown arts district is locally dubbed NoDa for North Davidson Street, a quirky commercial corridor filled with mill-era buildings. Clusters of mural-clad businesses splinter off the neighborhood's main streets, featuring a diverse architectural landscape spanning a variety of 21st-century styles. “It’s a very youthful area,” says Jennifer Monroe, a broker with Compass who has been selling homes in Charlotte since 2012. “That doesn’t mean everyone is young, but everyone is into a youthful style of living. It’s walkable, and North Davidson Street is just restaurants, tattoo parlors, art shops and nightlife.” NoDa is the place for Charlotteans seeking active lifestyles in the middle of the city's thriving art scene.
Culture-rich businesses on North Davidson Street, brewery exploration and arts festivals
North Davidson Street's vibrant medley of businesses draws locals from across the city for a Southern-style brunch at Haberdish or a quick pick-me-up at Smelly Cat Coffee House and Roastery before strolling the art galleries and vintage shops. "NoDa is where you go when you want to go out but still have a conversation and be able to hear the other person,” says Brandy Rheinschmidt, a Realtor with eXp Realty who has been selling in the area since 2017. Heist Brewery fills up before live music shows at Neighborhood Theatre or The Evening Muse, which showcase local groups and big-name acts.
On the NoDa Beer Trail, brew enthusiasts can explore Charlotte’s craft beer scene and choose between two over 2-mile routes starting at Birdsong Brewing Company. In August 2024, The NoDa Neighborhood Business Association held the first-ever NoDa Bizarre Arts Festival. The day consisted of vendors, live music and activities like a movie on the lawn and a silent auction. On North Charlotte's outskirts are grocery stores, including Food Lion and Giant Penny Grocery.

Cozy cottages and new construction in NoDa
NoDa's housing styles include modern builds, bungalows, Arts and Crafts and Craftsman-styles, which are shaded by oaks and maple trees. “It’s a mixture of colorful, old mill-style houses, which is a style very specific to Charlotte, old bungalows and new infill construction,” says Monroe. “It’s really blossoming with new businesses, condos, townhouses and apartment buildings.” Single-family homes sell for between $234,000 to $1.4 million, ranging from a 1950s 3-bedroom bungalow needing renovations to a 5-bedroom home built in 2023. Condos and townhouses range from around $229,000 to $890,000. Listings don't often stick around long in this coveted neighborhood. "Really great, well-priced properties sell within a week," says Landon Albrick, Realtor at the Albrick Group and nearby Charlotte resident.

LYNX access within walking-distance
"It's an area that's good for jobs because you have a lot of corporations nearby, like the Wells Fargo headquarters, IRS and Electrolux," Albrick says. The major corporations are within minutes away. There is easy access to several public transit options. Two LYNX light rail stations are in town, and Charlotte's CATS buses make frequent stops along North Davidson Street, The Plaza and East 36th Street. "There are very few walkable neighborhoods in Charlotte, but NoDa has a main street area that you can walk to,” Rheinschmidt says. Driving homeowners have a 4-mile commute to the city's business district.
Crime
The neighborhood’s CAP Index crime score is 8 out of 10, significantly above the national average of 4. In 2024, Mecklenburg County approved $2 million for the Juvenile Crime Prevention Council. The money will fund mentoring programs and substance abuse coaching.

I love North charlotte. It has the convenience of living in a city but nature is not very far away. There are many choices for restaurants and bars. There is a ton of live music and art in the neighborhood.
