We determine the center of a localization of ${ \mathcal U}_q({ \mathfrak n}_\omega)\subseteq { \mathcal U}^+_q({ \mathfrak g})$ by the covariant elements (non-mutable elements) by means of constructions and results from quantum cluster algebras. In our set-up, ${ \mathfrak g}$ is any finite-dimensional complex Lie algebra and $\omega$ is any element in the Weyl group $W$. The non-zero complex parameter $q$ is mostly assumed not to be a root of unity, but our method also gives many details in case $q$ is a primitive root of unity. We point to a new and very useful direction of approach to a general set of problems which we exemplify here by obtaining the result that the center is determined by the null space of $1+\omega$. Further, we use this to give a generalization to double Schubert Cell algebras where the center is proved to be given by $\omega^{ \mathfrak a}+\omega^{ \mathfrak c}$. Another family of quadratic algebras is also considered and the centers determined.
