About Plaza Midwood

Plaza Midwood
Charlotte, NC

Plaza Midwood is Charlotte's most distinctive urban neighborhood — a living collision of vintage bungalows, craft breweries, independent restaurants, and street art that refuses to conform. Anchored by Central Avenue, the neighborhood draws buyers who want walkability without the polish, character without the pretense. Historic mill houses sit next to luxury infill. The Diamond Restaurant has been pouring coffee since 1945. If you want a neighborhood that still has a pulse, Plaza Midwood is it.
