The Plaza Midwood neighborhood is a funky area brimming with historic homes and new construction, as well as a terrific variety of renowned restaurants, hopping bars, and unique shops. Reputed to be one of the most diverse neighborhoods in Charlotte, Plaza Midwood sits about a mile northeast of Uptown, making it an appealing place to live for young professionals and families looking for a spot close to the heart of the city.

Plaza Midwood was designed around a bygone trolley line and began with the development of large Craftsman bungalows that still line The Plaza. Since the mid-1990s, this rapidly rejuvenating community has seen many of these older homes remodeled or replaced by replicas of homes from the past, but Midwood still retains much of its bohemian character that makes it one of the most unique neighborhoods in Charlotte.
