Wilmore is a historic neighborhood with modern conveniences

In Wilmore, century-old bungalows are just a few streets over from modern townhouses and nightlife spots. This historic enclave is tucked behind the vibrant South End, but its wide, curving streets give it that classic neighborhood feel. Residents enjoy short commutes to Uptown and community events organized by a long-running neighborhood association. Having a handful of parks and desirable school zoning adds to Wilmore’s family-friendly appeal.

From Craftsman bungalows and cozy cottages to modern townhouses

Historic character mixes with modern construction in Wilmore. The neighborhood is known for its colorful collection of Craftsman bungalows from the 1920s and 1930s, but you'll also find cottages, small ranch-style homes, two-story Craftsman-style builds from recent years and brand-new townhouses and condos. Potential buyers should note that properties here are subject to historic district regulations. “Any new construction generally has to meet those guidelines, so all of the homes have a certain kind of feel to them,” says Anthony Swain, a Realtor with Monarch Group Realty.

Where locals eat, drink and shop in South End and LoSo

Wilmore’s blocks blend into Charlotte’s trendy South End and Lower South End (LoSo), where cocktail bars and breweries sit between local restaurants, fitness centers and luxury apartments. Hotspots include Wooden Robot Brewery, known for its ales and lagers, and Leroy Fox, which specializes in Southern fried chicken and Sunday brunch. Residents are steps from Pasta & Provisions, where they can indulge in fresh pasta or pick up frozen to-go meals. “Tyber Creek Pub is a newer bar with an outdoor patio space,” Swain says. “Monday Night Brewing is a place where a lot of people go to hang out outside. They have fire pits and games.” This area also has several boutique stores, many of which are tucked into Atherton Mill, a former textile mill turned high-end shopping destination. This chic shopping center houses name-brand clothiers next to national retailers such as Publix and Lowe’s Home Improvement, making for easy errand runs.

Drive, bike, take a bus or catch the light rail to Uptown

Uptown Charlotte, home to major employers and institutions such as Wells Fargo, Bank of America Stadium and Bechtler Museum of Modern Art, is about 2 miles away. The drive up South Mint Street or Interstate 77 can take as little as 5 minutes, but you should expect delays during rush hour. Commuters can keep their cars at home and take a 25-minute ride on the LYNX Blue Line light rail or catch a CATS bus on South Tryon Street. “The light rail is a great option for anyone who doesn’t want to drive or worry about parking,” Swain says. Biking is also an option, with dedicated bike lanes on South Mint Street.

Seasonal events and social gatherings keep Wilmore connected

Wilmore may be close to nightlife, but you’ll find a family-friendly atmosphere on its quiet residential streets. “Anytime you’re going to drive through the neighborhood on a Saturday or Sunday morning, you’ll see families walking with kids, pushing strollers, walking with dogs,” says Mike Feehley, a broker with Ivester Jackson Christie’s International Real Estate. The Wilmore Neighborhood Association, dating to 1914, keeps the community connected through seasonal and social events. “Starting late summer into fall, we host movie nights at the Wilmore Centennial Park,” says Rebekah Taff, a WNA board member and a Realtor with Helen Adams Realty. “We have a neighborhood social committee who hosts Wilmore Wednesdays at Pasta & Provisions, as well as neighborhood park parties at Abbott Park.”
