Houses in Dilworh - Finding the perfect bungalow in Charlotte, NC.  There are plenty of them in this real estate market. Take a look at the houses listed in  the Dilworth subdivision in Charlotte, NC?  The Dilworth area is one of Charlotte's historic districts and houses bungalows that date back to around 1900.  Most of the homes have renovated interiors with the normal granite counter tops, stainless steel appliances and vanity sinks in the bathrooms... but many of the foundations and exterior designs remain original.  I love the artsy feel that you receive as you drive down the tree-lined streets in Dilworth.  Ever wondered why so many of these trees are lined with what looks to be black tape about 5 feet from the ground?  It keeps the canker beetle from getting to the foliage where it lays its eggs and where the baby worms eat all of the leaves.  I also like the street parking.  It makes it harder for cars to drive fast through the subdivision and they help to protect the sidewalks that line the streets.
