"Old South" Charlotte - Myers Park - Dilworth - Elizabeth
At the turn of the century, Charlotte's first suburbs were served by
streetcar lines along the neighborhoods of Dilworth, Elizabeth, Myers Park
in South Charlotte, and Plaza-Midwood in East Charlotte. Eastover was the first neighborhood especially
designed with driveways for well-heeled residents' "motorcars". "Two times
four plus a door" refers to the traditional colonial architectural design
that is the most popular style in Charlotte - four windows symmetrically
placed on either side of a grand entranceway. Alongside stately colonials,
you'll also see elegant Victorians and cozy craftsman style bungalows. Average Price - $776,000
