Whether you meet with the Historic North Charlotte Neighborhood Association on the 1st Tuesday of each month to discuss the preservation of NoDa’s dynamic community, or you simply like to swing by the Cabo Fish Taco for after-work margaritas with friends, Charlotte’s artistic NoDa district offers a place for everyone.

After the collapse of the textile industry in the mid 1970s, this area became practically invisible on the North Carolina’s map. The 1980s brought with it a wealth of young artists and visionaries who worked to restore the community by teaming with local businesses, old mill owners and neighbors. Today, the structural makeup of NoDa is as assorted as its society. It offers an array of galleries, theaters, restaurants and shops support its citizens that stroll from bungalows, hip condos and its burgeoning residential area.

Real estate is prime in this neat Charlotte neighborhood. Whether you’re an artist looking for a studio to rent, couple hoping to score an urban condo with rooftop terrace, or family seeking a quiet, pet-friendly, first-time home, NoDa’s offerings are sure to satisfy your needs.

Special events abound in the NoDa community, working to keep its members connected. On February 5th, the Center of the Earth Gallery will welcome guests to enjoy a selection of painting, collage and sculpture from a collective of artists. The dining scene is not overlooked in NoDa and is as diverse, if not more so, as the art sector.

Casual creole at Boudreaux’s Louisiana Kitchen, endless crepes at the Crepe Cellar Kitchen & Pub, Mediterranean fare at Revolution and a dog-friendly space to enjoy NoDa’s best brews, The Dog Bar, are just a few selections lining the streets.

So no matter what sort of living space you’re looking for, as long as it’s couched in a community that cultivates creativity, diversity and positive energy, there is a piece of real estate waiting for you in Charlotte’s NoDa district.
