*Plaza Midwood reflects the Midwood subdivision. †Canopy MLS zip-code aggregate, which covers more than the neighborhood. ‡RPR August 2026 median sold price (zip code 28277 for Ballantyne and Waverly, town of Huntersville for Huntersville). Walk Scores from Walk Score ®.

Source: Canopy MLS for Plaza Midwood, NoDa, South End, Elizabeth, Dilworth, Myers Park, and Cotswold (neighborhood medians, last 12 months) and zip-code aggregates for Uptown, Wesley Heights, and SouthPark, data as of Q3 2026. Properties may be listed or sold by various participants of the MLS. Ballantyne and Waverly use the Realtors Property Resource (RPR) August 2026 median sold price for zip code 28277, and Huntersville uses RPR's town-level figure, which does not separate out waterfront homes; Lake Norman waterfront homes are generally $1.5M+, a general indication since RPR does not report waterfront separately.
