What is Your Charlotte Neighbor?
Your Charlotte Neighbor began in my living room in 2023 while I was scrolling through homes on Zillow. As I was admiring the homes that were way out of my price range, I had a startling realization: I didn’t know nearly as much about my city as I thought I did.
That was a wake-up call, especially since I’m a lifelong Charlottean and a devoted map enthusiast. How could I truly love my city if I didn’t fully understand all its complex neighborhoods, storied history, and hidden gems?
So, I started Your Charlotte Neighbor as a way to learn more about Charlotte - and to share everything I discover with you. Whether you’re a fellow local, a newcomer, or just curious about the Queen City, I hope this blog helps you navigate and appreciate all that Charlotte has to offer!
