NoDa (a portmanteau of "North Davidson arts") is a popular arts district in Charlotte, North Carolina, United States. It is located in the North Charlotte neighborhood centered around North Davidson Street and 36th Street, approximately two and a half miles northeast of Uptown. Formerly an area of textile manufacturing and mill workers' residences, the area has also served as a center for the arts.
NoDa shares the same geography as Historic North Charlotte which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The name "NoDa" was coined by architect Russell Pound. In addition to historic mill houses, NoDa has seen a boom in residential construction in multifamily housing in recent years. The neighborhood has become an entertainment district focused on bimonthly gallery crawls. In addition to the art galleries, there are several music venues, restaurants, bars, and shops in the neighborhood.
