Brookwood Home for Sale

Brookwood, a historic district in Wilmington since 2015, spans 11 blocks and features charming historic homes, mature tree-lined streets and picket fences. The neighborhood, quieter and less social than nearby areas, has a mix of long-term older residents and younger families. Homes were built between 1920 and 1964 and include Colonial Revivals, Craftsman-style bungalows and cottages, with many renovators preserving their historical character. The area is served by well-rated schools, including Hoggard High and New Hanover High. Wallace Park, a local green space with a playscape, basketball court and walking trail, is a key feature. The Nir Family YMCA, with its gym and pools, is nearby, and Wrightsville Beach is less than 10 miles away. Brookwood's location, bordered by Market Street and U.S. 17, provides convenient access to I-40 and Wilmington International Airport, just 3.2 miles away. The neighborhood also participates in the annual Cape Fear Garden Club's Garden Tour during The North Carolina Azalea Festival, and the nearby Live Oak Pavilion hosts major music events. The 15-mile Cross-City Trail offers an offroad transportation option, soon connecting through Wallace Park to the new downtown train station. Dining and shopping options abound, with The Cargo District, downtown Wilmington and Independence Mall all within a short drive. The Soda Pop district offers additional eateries and breweries.
