About Myers Park
Where to stay in Myers Park
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Myers Park spreads across the leafy inner suburbs of Charlotte, a short drive from the towers of the city centre. Most visitors base themselves near the Charlotte Nature Museum, where the neighbourhood edges toward the green space that families come for, then head into the wider city for dining and business. Beds sit among the oaks.
Choose this quarter for a calm, garden-shaded stay well away from the hard edges of the downtown core.
About Myers Park
What are the main landmarks in Myers Park?
Historic houses anchor Myers Park. The Elizabeth Lawrence House and Garden preserves the home and planted beds of the garden writer who worked the soil here, while the Mayes House survives as a reminder of the neighbourhood's early built fabric. Nearby, the Charlotte Nature Museum draws school groups and families to its trails and displays.
Two landmark congregations, the East Avenue Tabernacle Associated Reformed Presbyterian Church and the First Baptist Church, round out a set of buildings that mark the district apart from the rest of Charlotte.
What is the history of Myers Park?
Older houses tell the story. Myers Park took shape as a planned residential quarter of Charlotte, its curving streets and mature trees laid out around lots that still hold buildings such as the Mayes House and the East Avenue Tabernacle Associated Reformed Presbyterian Church. The garden writer whose Elizabeth Lawrence House and Garden survives here later made the neighbourhood a small landmark of American horticultural writing.
Those preserved homes and beds keep the district's early years in plain view.
Where is Myers Park?
Myers Park lies among the inner residential districts of Charlotte, a temperate, tree-shaded quarter whose curving streets and old oaks separate it from the harder grid of the surrounding city.
