Historic SouthEnd has emerged as one of Charlotte's hippest neighborhoods that combines both residential and retail spaces for truly urban living. This area is close to downtown and is located between the Dilworth neighborhood and Wilmore. This area is sure to continue to grow as it will be on the trolley line which will service this neighborhood as well as downtown. Typical properties in SouthEnd are condominiums, warehouse conversions (one of Charlotte's true New York style warehouse lofts is located here at Factory South - a 100 year + factory), and commercial spaces. Commercial properties on this corridor are being quickly filled with furniture stores, design studios, architectural firms, and other household shopping - making this area known as the Design Center for the city.
