About Wesley Heights

Located less than a mile from the heart of Uptown Charlotte, Wesley Heights offers residents all the conveniences of city living without actually having to live directly in the center of the city. Even with Charlotte’s skyscrapers and Bank of America Stadium as its backdrop, Wesley Heights has managed to maintain a peaceful, largely residential feel with tree-lined streets and quaint bungalows. Originally founded in 1911, Wesley Heights was the first historic neighborhood established in the city’s Westside. In recent years, it’s seen major revitalization that’s brought a wide variety of new businesses and restaurants to the area as well as more housing options. There are no signs of the neighborhood’s popularity dying down anytime soon with several mixed-use developments on the horizon.

Around Wesley Heights

For decades the historic neighborhood was made up of mainly single-family homes located between Morehead Street, and West 4th Street, but as Wesley Heights has expanded and become one of the city’s most up-and-coming areas, several different townhomes and apartment complexes have popped up around Grandin Road, Wesley Heights Way, and Duckworth Avenue, adding more choices to the mix for potential residents.

Wesley Heights has a great mixture of local staples along Morehead Street such as fan favorites like Noble Smoke and Bossy Beulah’s—both of which serve up delicious Southern staples like Carolina barbecue and fried chicken. Rhino Market and Deli is also a go-to spot where you can enjoy a hearty breakfast wrap in the morning and then indulge in a wine or beer flight later in the day. For something sweet, The Batchmaker Bake House is a must-visit for some of the best desserts in the city.

Drive down W Morehead Street, and Freedom Drive, and you’ll pass by a majority of Wesley Heights local eateries and breweries. If you cut down one of the side roads that snake through the neighborhood in the direction of 4th Street Extension, you’re sure to see plenty of residents getting their daily cardio in, walking along the oak-lined sidewalks or the extensive greenway system.

While you won’t find any boisterous nightclubs in the neighborhood, there’s still plenty to do without having to leave the area. Wesley Heights provides the perfect locale for a low-key Friday night full of good eats and adult beverages. Grad dinner at Pinky’s Westside Grill right off of West Morehead Street. It’s a Charlotte institution that’s even been featured on the Food Network’s Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives for its delicious burgers and patty melts. Follow dinner up with a cold craft brew and a game of bocce ball across the street at Town Brewing Co., or grab cocktails at Jack Beagle’s, which is also within walking distance of the beloved restaurant. For live music head over to Summit Seltzer Co. where there’s a band playing every Friday night.

Start the day with a little jolt of caffeine and hearty breakfast at Not Just Coffee, then take a leisurely stroll along the Irwin Creek and Stewart Creek Greenways. Or, stop by Rhino Market and pick up a grab-and-go meal from one of the market’s coolers and have a picnic at one of the many greenspaces located along the two greenways. Have a dog? You’ll want to spend the day at Lucky Dog Bark and Brew where dogs can go off-leash while their owners enjoy a cold one. If it’s football season, the neighborhood will be buzzing because of its close proximity to Bank of America Stadium and you definitely won’t want to miss out on the festivities. Take the greenway over to Clutch to tailgate before cheering on the Carolina Panthers.

Though the neighborhood’s hot spots are easily reachable by walking or biking, there aren’t many places for residents to take care of daily tasks or errands such as grocery shopping within a close enough distance to comfortably ride a bike or walk. Residents tend to rely on cars to handle most of their tasks around the city. There are a number of Charlotte Area Transit System (CATS) bus stops spread throughout the neighborhood that will take riders into the city as well as the airport. The Gold Line Streetcar system will eventually expand to Wesley Heights upon final completion.
