First Ward

Score Breakdown

About this Neighborhood

First Ward sits in Uptown Charlotte, the largest business district in the Carolinas, split from the other three wards by the Trade and Tryon intersection. The dining runs exceptional here — 34 restaurants at a 4.7 average and eight coffee shops at 4.7 — with Geno D's Pizza, Rosie's Coffee & Wine Garden and Gotcha Matcha & Espresso leading, and Yelp reviewers landing on a rare 4.9. The Foursquare tastes tilt toward theaters, concert halls and performing arts venues, giving the ward a real cultural pull. A Walk Score of 94, four parks and a library round out a downtown neighborhood built for both work and a night out.
