The North Davidson Arts District, affectionately known as NoDa, is a former mill neighborhood that has been transformed into a funky arts district with galleries, eateries and performance halls. Just three miles northeast of uptown, the neighborhood is made up of mostly small, restored Craftsman style bungalows. The district also has an increasing number of condos, including some in converted mills. Don't miss: Friday Gallery Crawls, on the first and third Fridays of the month.
