Plaza Midwood / Elizabeth / Chantilly

If you’re looking for a more laidback lifestyle, then the Plaza Midwood / Elizabeth region of Charlotte is for you! Known for its nightlife, Plaza Midwood is full of trendy restaurants, low-key dive bars, and intimate music venues. Close by is Elizabeth, a warm and inviting historic neighborhood that creates the perfect balance between relaxed and active energies.

Blink and you’ll miss one of Charlotte’s most desirable residential suburbs. Chantilly is nestled between Plaza Midwood and Elizabeth. Much like its sisters, this beautiful neighborhood is convenient to shops, eateries, and art galleries, but what sets it apart is its seven-acre park appropriately named Chantilly Park. Due to their soft boundaries and blends of long-time Charlotteans and fast-moving college students, these districts’ proximity, walkability, and intimacy make them enticing together and apart.
