The Charlotte Observer reported yesterday that Amos’ Southend will end it’s long run as a music venue and will close in March. This will most likely make way for yet another new construction development as the corridor along the Lynx Blue Line is attracting new denser development. If you are looking for a condominium, this is a great place to be looking. You will get all of the newest features and be close to everything. Everything along the Blue Line seems to have changed and rapidly at that.
One neighborhood that remains largely unchanged by the Blue Line is Dilworth. Homes here have been appreciating in value due to proximity to Uptown, convenience of the Blue Line, and walkability of the neighborhood, but they retain their charm. You can find an original craftsman style home here, or you can find a modernized historical home all within the same block. Historic and charm are words that epitomize Dilworth.
East Boulevard runs east and west through the middle of Dilworth and packed with restaurants, boutique shopping, grocery stores, and Freedom Park. Freedom Park has trails, water features, gardens, and more. Latta Park is also at the center of the neighborhood, with a playground, water park, and theater. Nightlife in the recently revitalized SouthEnd is just a quick walk away.
Tree lined streets and generous front porches help Dilworth to be a friendly place to be. Families taking walks, kids on bikes, and joggers with dogs are all everyday occurrences in Dilworth. There are a variety of homes, from condos to single-family here. This helps the neighborhood to still retain some affordable sections where you can purchase a condo in the $200’s. Fully renovated historic homes can go into the millions.
In the past year, homes in Dilworth have sold for between $202,500 and $1,624,750. As of August 18th, there are 35 homes on the market with 18 under contract. The prices range between $350,000 for a 3 bedroom 1 bath with 1,077 square feet, and $1.5 million for a 5 bedroom, 3 full bath, 2 half bath home with 4,428 square feet.
