Around Dilworth

The historic neighborhood boasts picturesque Craftsman bungalows and Colonial Revival homes on wide, tree-lined streets. Small fixer-upper bungalows can be found on the edge of the neighborhood for lower prices, while renovated and new construction homes can reach the low millions. The neighborhood also offers some condos and townhouses for young people and small families.

East Boulevard is the neighborhood's main retail thoroughfare and its "restaurant row" boasting more than 20 eateries within two miles. Cuisine include sports bar grub, creative Mediterranean and burgers, and contemporary southern fare. The restaurant 300 East, a neighborhood stalwart for over 25 years, serves new American fare in a quaint old house.

Dilworth residents are in-the-know bunch eager to explore new dining and retail options. You'll find a friendly, social vibe here with lots of residents spending time on their porches or getting around by foot in this highly walkable neighborhood.

During the spring, summer, and fall months, start the night out at the neighborhood's weekly food truck roundup for some casual bites. Or head down to East Boulevard for a sit-down meal at one of the thoroughfare's many eateries. If you're looking for more action, hit up neighboring South End for its breweries and art galleries, or hop on the Lynx light rail to uptown if night clubs are more your thing.

There are plenty of breakfast options in Dilworth and neighboring South End, whether you want just donuts and coffee or a full mimosa-fueled brunch. Browse the shops on East Boulevard, or spend the day at Latta Park -- right in the middle of the neighborhood -- which features a "sprayground," sports courts, and winding trails.

Mix of new and older homes

Todd W
Great neighborhood with a mix of older homes and new tear downs. Higher price point. East blvd cuts down the middle and has great shops and restaurants for neighbors to enjoy. Close to light rail and Uptown. Schools are good too! Make sure to catch a food truck rally
