About NoDa
Where to stay in NoDa
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
NoDa is a compact arts quarter within Charlotte, not a dense hotel zone of its own. The arts quarter carries little lodging of its own. Visitors who want to be close to the galleries and the old houses tend to book a room in central Charlotte and come out to the district, since its blocks lean residential and creative rather than lined with lodging.
Stay near Rosedale for the calmer edge. The VanLandingham Estate anchors the leafier streets.
About NoDa
What are the main landmarks in NoDa?
The landmarks of NoDa are its surviving old houses. Victoria stands among them. Rosedale is an early plantation house that predates the district around it, and the VanLandingham Estate holds its own grounds on the leafier streets nearby.
Three historic homes carry the past here. Together they give the arts district a settled, older frame within Charlotte.
What is the history of NoDa?
NoDa grew as a working quarter on the northern side of Charlotte before its galleries arrived. Rosedale came first. The plantation house stood on the land long before the district took shape, and later houses such as Victoria and the VanLandingham Estate joined it as the area filled with homes and mills.
Industry gave way to art. Studios and galleries took over the older buildings, turning the neighbourhood into the arts district known across Charlotte.
