Welcome to Elizabeth
About Us
Welcome to our Neighborhood! Dating to 1891, the Elizabeth neighborhood was the second “streetcar suburb” to be built in Charlotte. It was notable from the beginning, featuring Charlotte’s first public park and many civic notables in residence. It has remained a vital and lively community and now includes locally famous restaurants, public art, an abundance of trees and its namesake – Elizabeth College – has become Novant Health, one of the largest healthcare systems in the state. Local historian Tom Hanchett’s wonderful self-guided walking tour can tell you even more about what makes this place special.
The ECA (Elizabeth Community Association) was founded to preserve, restore and protect this special place. It is not a homeowners association. Instead of an enforcing entity, the ECA is more like a catalyst for community, providing events that bring neighbors together, a collective voice for civic needs around housing and transportation, and a hub for neighbors to meet, collaborate and engage with one another.

The Annual Meeting
September 24th from 6:30 – 8:30 we will gather at St. John’s Broad Hall to vote on new board members, review the past year, and just reconnect with friends and neighbors. We have created a document that runs through the details of both the Recommended Slate and a high level overview of other important information.
Don’t forget to renew your membership each year to be eligible to vote at the annual meeting. We have added a new subscription option so that renewing is easier than ever. Also, please register below because there will be FOOD and childcare provided so we want to be sure we have an accurate count to ensure everyone is included.
