About Villa Heights

Villa Heights is one of Charlotte's most rapidly transforming historic neighborhoods, an early 1900s mill village along Parkwood Avenue between Optimist Park and Belmont. The neighborhood is anchored by the historic Highland Park Mill (1892, now Optimist Hall), the Parkwood LYNX Blue Line Station, and dozens of 2010s mixed-use mid-rise developments. Original 1900s–1920s mill cottages and Craftsman bungalows share the streetscape with new infill. Roofing in Villa Heights is a heritage-mill-cottage restoration market plus high-volume mid-rise TPO/EPDM membrane work.
