Elizabeth is easy to miss since its somewhat blurry borders are shared with Uptown, Plaza Midwood, and more. But that’s just part of what makes this neighborhood one of Charlotte’s hidden gems. This quaint and historic neighborhood is where you’ll find long-time Charlotteans meandering along the main strip, brushing shoulders with the fast-moving students at Central Piedmont Community College. Elizabeth is warm and welcoming, striking just the right balance between hustle-and-bustle and low-key, relaxed energy.
