Dilworth was established in the 1890s as the first “suburb” of Charlotte, connected to the city by the state’s first streetcar.
The neighborhood is still steeped in that history. Dilworth is full of quaint historic homes beautifully renovated for the modern era. You can even still see the alleyways that horse-drawn carriages used to deliver ice, coal and milk to the back door of people’s houses, rather than the front.
Good news: Even in a city changing as rapidly as Charlotte, this neighborhood is certain to maintain its charm. Dilworth is one of six neighborhoods designated as “local historic districts,” so any new projects go through a stringent review to make sure they preserve the character of the neighborhood.
This means even the commercial district has distinctive charm: Along Dilworth’s main thoroughfare of East Boulevard, you’ll find everything from law offices to restaurants in renovated bungalows that look move-in ready.
