Uptown North Carolina

Uptown, also known as Downtown, is where Charlotte’s business sector is located and is largely made up of banking and other financial service industries. Museums, sporting venues, hotels, restaurants, and bars can also be found in this area, along with Government buildings. Uptown was divided into four wards in the mid 1800’s due to political purposes and each ward maintains their different characteristics to this day. The first, third and fourth wards are mostly residential neighborhoods, and the second ward is made up primarily of city and county government offices. Uptown First Ward First Ward used to be one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in Charlotte, but the city’s decision to revitalize the neighborhood with a $41.6 million dollar grant has dramatically improved the area’s atmosphere. Now the

neighborhood is much more desirable and is constantly improving, with new residential developments and entertainment venues being planned and underway. Today First Ward is a mostly residential area with a population of about 1,000 and is an award-winning mixed income district. The Spirit Square Arts Center, the Little Rock AME Zion Church, the Afro-American Cultural Center and First Ward Elementary can be found here. The neighborhood boundaries are E. Trade Street, N. Tryon Street, and I-277.

Uptown Second Ward

Second Ward is most well known as the “Government District”, and is home to city county office buildings, as well as city’s new convention center, several hotels, the Mecklenburg Aquatic Center, Marshall Park and some apartment and condominium buildings. This business district was once a vibrant residential community, home to approximately 7,000 working African Americans, until in the 1960’s the city and federal government’s urban renewal program designated it as a blighted neighborhood. The Second War is undergoing changes as well, and the NASCAR Hall of Fame is scheduled to be built here.

Uptown Third Ward

Third Ward, located in Southwest Uptown, is a mostly residential community and is home to Johnson & Wales University and Bank of America Stadium. Historic homes, apartments, office towers, and a transportation center can be found here, and a new baseball stadium is proposed. Third Ward is currently most well known for its recent addition, Gateway Village, a 1.5 million square feet mixed use complex which includes office space, residential units, shopping, dining, and a park. Third Ward is by far the most diverse of the four quadrants.

Uptown Fourth Ward

Fourth Ward is probably the most predominantly residential neighborhood of the four wards. The neighborhood boasts a mix of older character homes, namely beautiful late 19th century Victorians with newer construction homes. On the edges of the ward newer high-end high rises can be found. Residents of this neighborhood tend to be very involved, well educated and proactive, especially when it comes to the upkeep of the neighborhood. Fourth Ward is home to the Children’s Science and Technology Center.
