Centrally located neighborhood on the hill
Known as the village on the hill, Villa Heights traces its roots to the turn of the 20th century when residents working in the textile industry inhabited the subdivision. Dr. Tom Hanchett, a Charlotte community historian, says, “Mill owners would often build streets of small houses to rent out to the workers in Villa Heights.” The neighborhood has been steadily growing in popularity because of its location near the light rail and NoDa, Charlotte’s art district. “I would say it’s an up-and-coming and very diverse community. You see a lot of people out walking, and there’s a certain connectedness to the neighborhood,” says Jennifer Monroe, a broker and one of the co-principals of the Indigo Home team at Compass. While Villa Heights is amidst change, its history as part of the mill district, skyline views of Uptown and neighborhood park remain the same.
Villa Heights is home to residents that enjoy safe and quiet neighborhood streets near it all.

From mill houses to new, sleek builds
Mill houses built in the late 1800s were once common throughout the neighborhood, but many have been torn down. Now, housing styles are mostly a mix of bungalows with Craftsman features and newer two-story houses with traditional or contemporary Influences. "We have a lot of very old homes, but also a lot of new and extensive construction going on over there,” Monroe says. “There are also larger lots here than you would typically find in other neighborhoods, so a lot of people really appreciate that.” Price points can range from $400,000 to $750,000 for the older single-story homes, depending on size and how extensively they’ve been remodeled or updated. The two-story homes built within the past several years start at $840,000 and go for over $1.5 million. There are also one or two-bedroom condos for between $312,000 and $395,000 and townhouses between $284,000 and around $802,000. A total of 55% of residents are renters.

Cordelia Park and a community garden
Cordelia Park is a 24-acre green space in the neighborhood’s southwest corner. “Putting a park there made a lot of sense,” Hanchett says. “Cliff sounds too dramatic, but it’s a very steep hill that couldn’t be built on. The park has a swimming pool with a splash pad, playground and basketball court where a mural covers the entire ground. The park is also home to an events pavilion and the Villa Heights Community Garden, established a decade ago as part of a goal to provide residents with fresh produce. There are 11 plots reserved, first come, first serve. The Cross Charlotte Trail cuts through the park. The greenway trail is an ongoing project expected to run for 30-plus miles when completed. Along the way, the trail passes through Uptown and Villa Heights – where it connects to the Little Sugar Creek Greenway.
