Elizabeth
Elizabeth is one of Charlotte's most historic and walkable neighborhoods, established in 1891 as the city's second streetcar suburb and later listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Tree-lined streets, early-20th-century architecture, and a location just minutes from Uptown make it one of the Queen City's most beloved in-town communities.
