Developed during 1910′s and 20′s and designed around a trolley line running from the downtown area, Plaza-Midwood is a mix of home styles because various interested groups created several disparate developments based upon the economy at the time. These small neighborhoods eventually expanded to compose all the homes in the Plaza-Midwood neighborhood today in the Charlotte, NC real estate market.

Those early fluctuating economic conditions and conflicting developer visions created the most eclectic of Charlotte’s local historic districts. Designated a historic district in 1992, Midwood blends traditional and modern with new home construction replicating the past. Large craftsman bungalows lining The Plaza, a tree-lined boulevard that divides this neighborhood north to south from Central Avenue to its intersection with Parkwood Avenue, were built before quaint cottages were developed after the war.
