What’s so great about condo living in Dilworth? Lots! For starters, convenience to everything that’s truly wonderful about Charlotte.  The Dilworth OnLine Motto rings true, “IF YOU CAN”T FIND IT HERE, IT MIGHT NOT BE HAPPENING!”   In Dilworth the “Old” and the “New” blend harmoniously. Historic homes dating back to the turn of the Century are framed by massive old-growth Oaks in this neatly planned grid of quaint streets.  Charlotte is known as “The City of Trees”, and that truly is evident throughout Dilworth. Simply walking the neighborhood is a guaranteed stress reliever! Don’t overlook Latta Park and Freedom Park, host to the Festival in the Park.  The shopping district which runs along East Boulevard is loaded with terrific specialty shops and great restaurants. Try the wood-fired pizzas at Brixx – they’re the best! Another favorite is 131 Main, voted Best Overall Restaurant by Charlotte Magazine for 2009.
A few excellent condo developments are spread throughout Dilworth. Latta Pavilion is an attractive 4-story mid-rise brick and stucco complex on the block between Scott and Kenilworth just off East Boulevard.

Helen Adams Realty is proud to announce that Molly Collins has joined our Randolph Road Office. 

About Molly Collins:

One can call me a true area native! I was born and raised in Monroe, NC and have been residing in Charlotte since graduating from Queens University. I graduated from Weddington High School, and prior to that, attended Monroe schools and Charlotte Christian School. My interest in real estate began at a young age. Growing up, I had the opportunity to observe my father purchase and sale property. His passion and entrepreneurial spirit was a tremendous influence. I decided I wanted my full-time career to be in the real estate industry. A Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Marketing with a concentration in Corporate Communications coincided with my decision to venture out and also acquire my Real Estate license prior to graduating from Queens. My career began in commercial real estate. I worked as an intern for Trammell Crow Company who merged with CB Richard Ellis during my tenure with the company. As an intern, I assisted the brokerage team with their marketing. My interest in helping individuals and families led me into residential real estate sales. I pride myself on giving every home buyer or seller the utmost level of customer service! Primarily I service Mecklenburg and Union counties, but I have sold in the following areas: Charlotte, Monroe, Matthews, Indian Trail, Waxhaw, Wingate, Concord, Belmont, and Gastonia.
