About Midtown
Midtown occupies the ground between Uptown, Elizabeth, and the Dilworth edge, organized around the Little Sugar Creek Greenway. The greenway's restoration replaced a culverted creek and a dying mall with a linear park that now runs continuously toward Freedom Park.
The result is Charlotte's most walkable close-in condominium market. Eastover residents use it constantly — for the greenway itself, for the shops at Metropolitan, and as the downsizing destination when a large historic house stops making sense.
