Elizabeth is a neighborhood in Charlotte. It is just south of Uptown, extending out of town along Elizabeth Ave. and 7th St. It blends the affluence of the Myers Park neighborhood to the west with the middle-class livability of Plaza-Midwood to the east. The neighborhood is roughly bounded by Independence Boulevard (NC Highway 74) to the north and west, Randolph Road to the south, and Briar Creek to the east.

The city's oldest public park. Though its edges have been eroded by development over the years, it is still sizable and pleasant.
Adjacent to the CPCC campus south of Uptown, with a spectacular skyline view. Generally used for smaller events such as high school and college football games and band competitions. The Charlotte Independence of USL League One play there, as does Carolina Ascent FC, which started play in 2024 in the new USL Super League in women's soccer.
With a production history dating from 1927, is Charlotte's oldest arts organization as well as the oldest continually producing community theater in the state.
This excellent community college is a center of activity. It regularly hosts events of all sizes.
Performs several times throughout the year at its Parr Center theater building, which opened in 2022 and has become a landmark. It has a professional summer series.
Quite the bruising and fascinating experience that has really grabbed the attention of many folks in Charlotte. Steadily attracting fans to watch this fast paced sporting event.
Long-lived movie theater-turned-music house. Hosts a variety of acts, and is well-reputed as one of the city's most intimate atmospheres.
One of the best-loved restaurants in Charlotte, for a variety of reasons. A highly diverse crowd (from families to punk rockers) and casual atmosphere allow anyone to feel at home; the low prices and oversized servings make sure you won't go home hungry. The menu is somewhat limited, but most items are commendable; experiment with the three varieties of chili or the daily specials if you're not sure what to order.
Busy spot for Peruvian cuisine and rotisserie chicken
Set in a refurbished century-old home, this is one of the jewels of the Elizabeth neighborhood. Very good Cajun cuisine is only one of the attractions; the artsy decor and live jazz bands (upstairs) add to an attractive atmosphere. The service is on-and-off because the restaurant is usually busy. Dinner only.
A quaint coffee-and-tea cafe in the Elizabeth neighborhood. La-Tea-Da's is surrounded by other excellent restaurants and unique shops.
Continental cuisine with French and Italian influences. Located in a restored 1913 bungalow in the heart of the neighborhood, this is a slightly pricey but well-reputed option for fine dining.
One of the cornerstones of the neighborhood, this pizza place rarely has a quiet night. Though parking can be a little frustrating during peak hours, Hawthorne's is one of the few good NY-style pizza joints in Charlotte.
One of many of the local chain's citywide locations, this home-grown Greek chain is probably the most unique fast-food fare in town. Don't be put off by the odd concept or gaudy neon signs; this chain is successful for a reason. Mouth-watering Greek fare and excellent sweet tea. This location is easily walkable from nearby shopping.
This inviting comic book store has served Charlotte's kids (and kids-at-heart) since 1980. Friendly service, vivid decor and convenient location -- nearby are a deli and a coffeeshop for reading -- make this one of Elizabeth's most endearing stores.
Elizabeth Avenue is the heart of the neighborhood, and 7th Street (which turns into Monroe Road as it heads southbound) is also a large thoroughfare.
