Charlotte NC Neighborhoods - Historic Elizabeth
Ahh...the Elizabeth community in the spring is simply gorgeous! The beauty of the mature landscaping, the aroma of blooming flowers and the welcoming feeling all captivate your senses as you traverse through this historic community. Homes in Elizabeth range from brick mansions to quaint bungalows and even new townhomes and condominiums have sprung from old homesites.
The neighborhood was home to department store magnate William Henry Belk, and the city’s first neighborhood movie theater, The Visulite, a popular night spot in Elizabeth which continues to feature live music nightly. New shops, up-scale restaurants and revitalization along Elizabeth Avenue has created a trendy Charlotte NC hot spot which attracts many visitors to the Elizabeth community.
The Elizabeth Avenue Redevelopment Plan, a $240 million revitalization project is in full swing and encompasses a six-block area along historic Elizabeth Avenue between Presbyterian Hospital and CPCC. The project is expected to include office space, 800+ residential homes and condos, and new upscale retail including Whole Foods Market, specialty boutiques and services, a 150+ room hotel, a multiplex movie theatre, and even more trendy restaurants as well as live entertainment venues including Carpe Diem, NOFO on Liz, Volarè Italiano Ristorante and more.
Some of Elizabeth's most popular stops include the rose gardens at Independence Park, a New Orleans rooftop dinner at The Cajun Queen or a luxurious night out at Carpe Diem followed by a rooftop drink at my favorite martini bar (with increcible skyline views), Loft 1523.
