Beautiful homes and an art crawl this weekend

Several years ago, while living in Houston, a friend I met during my time in Columbus, Ohio, reached out to me when she learned she would be moving to Charlotte. Knowing my connection to the area, she wanted input on the city and which neighborhoods I thought she’d enjoy. I was happy to give her the lowdown of various spots and one of those was Elizabeth, just east of Uptown.
As a relatively new metro region, Charlotte has few neighborhoods matching Elizabeth’s historical significance, with its tree-lined streets and Craftsman-style bungalows. My friend has since relocated there and is happily settled with her family. For a peek into why she and I both are so fond of it, take a short drive down this weekend to the 2013 Elizabeth Home & Garden Tour.
“One of the longest running residential home and garden tours in Charlotte” according to its press release, 10 percent of the proceeds benefit a new family shelter run by Charlotte Family Housing called Elizabeth House, as well as the Charlotte Mecklenburg Police Department. You’ll see six beautiful homes, some featuring period-authentic restorations while one, in particular, lends itself to a modern minimalist approach, along with four private gardens.
Tickets are $12 in advance ($15 onsite) and the tour runs Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 12 & 13, from 11am-5pm and 1pm-5pm, respectively. For more information on the history of the neighborhood and the participating homes and gardens visit the Elizabeth Community Association’s website www.elizabethcommunity.com [2]

The recurring event, October 11th, from 5pm-9pm, happening this time at the Chair Factory on North Main Street, is family-friendly and free, and features food, merchants, live music, and art to kick off your weekend.
I’ll be there and hope to see you, too!
