Wesley Heights, Charlotte’s historic streetcar suburb
Wesley Heights has preserved an enduring history since the early 20th century. This streetcar suburb of Charlotte was the city’s first established historic district in the Westside. “It’s also one of the few historic districts left that’s widely untouched by new development,” says Kevin Thompson, Realtor at Helen Adams Realty and longtime local. “Construction and renovation are highly regulated, which protects the history but can also stymie growth. The area has changed a lot with time, but it’s been a slow process.” As the neighborhood welcomes new residents and businesses, Wesley Heights continues to cultivate its rich history, culture and unity.
The light rail is easily accesible from Wesley Heights.

Crafty homes and historic streets
Single-family homes from the early 1900s are most common in Wesley Heights. “Most of the houses come in arts and crafts or bungalow styles,” says Thompson. “However, you’ll see a few exceptions here and there, like more modern construction.” Town houses and condos in the area are typically historic buildings that maintain their original infrastructure but have newly renovated interiors. Structural renovations are regulated to protect the buildings' architectural integrity and unique features, like ornate trim, bright colors and original red brick. Across the board, properties in Wesley Heights typically have two or three bedrooms and cost between $350,000 and $675,000. Roads are tree-canopied and lined with skinny sidewalks, manicured lawns and the occasional hilly slope or white picket fence. While some homes may have a small driveway, most locals park on the street.

The bar also offers additional services, including dog grooming, overnight boarding and daycare.
