Villa Heights is a walkable community between NoDa and Plaza Midwood
Known as “the village on the hill,” Villa Heights has been steadily growing in popularity because of its location near the light rail and NoDa, Charlotte’s art district. Its roots trace back to the turn of the 20th century, when the owners of textile mills built rows of housing to house workers. While you won’t find many of those original houses in the neighborhood today, there are still plenty of homes with character. And the former mills have been repurposed, putting a variety of restaurants and shops steps from home. Add in two neighborhood parks, a short commute to Uptown and a highly rated elementary school, and you can see why the Villa Heights lifestyle has wide appeal.
Villa Heights is supported by a passionate community organization.
North Davidson Street borders Villa Heights and runs right into beautiful Uptown Charlotte.

From older homes with character to modern new builds
Mill houses built in the late 1800s were once common throughout the neighborhood, but many have been torn down. Now, you’ll find mostly a mix of Craftsman bungalows, cottages, ranch-style homes, custom Craftsman-inspired transitionals and brand-new modern designs. If you’re looking for less maintenance, there are townhouses with attached garages and condos with balconies and rooftop decks. "We have a lot of very old homes, but also a lot of new and extensive construction going on over there,” says Jennifer Monroe, a Realtor with Compass. “There are also larger lots here than you would typically find in other neighborhoods, so a lot of people really appreciate that.” Lot sizes for detached homes range from about a tenth of an acre to nearly a third of an acre.
Smaller older remodeled homes offer a slightly lower price point for Villa Heights families.
