Charlotte, area by area

Charlotte’s inner-ring neighborhoods are not interchangeable. A 1911 streetcar suburb with protected canopy trees, a 1958 flat-lot grid beside a shopping mall and a 1990s master-planned district with an architectural review committee produce three completely different projects from the same brief. These guides set out what each area actually is, what its houses are made of, and what that means for cost, schedule and approvals.
