About Elizabeth
Elizabeth sits northwest of Eastover across Little Sugar Creek, between Uptown and the hospital campuses. Developed in the early twentieth century, it is Charlotte's second-oldest streetcar suburb and one of its most genuinely walkable residential districts.
Its housing is bungalows, foursquares, and small Colonial Revival houses on compact lots, with a commercial spine along Seventh Street and Elizabeth Avenue. The CityLYNX Gold Line streetcar runs through it, and Independence Park anchors its southern edge.
