Why Live in Old Wilmington

Old Wilmington is a historic downtown neighborhood known for its rich history, culture, and tourism. Located east of the Cape Fear River, this area features late 19th-century and early 20th-century architecture, including Victorian, Queen Anne, and Italianate homes, alongside 1920s Craftsman bungalows. The neighborhood is walkable, with wide streets shaded by mature trees and lined with sidewalks. Residents and visitors enjoy the iconic Riverwalk and Front Street, a lively area with restaurants, bars, boutiques, and museums. Notable dining options include Caprice, a French bistro, and Fork ‘N’ Cork, a popular burger joint. The Riverwalk offers a scenic 2-mile boardwalk along the river, perfect for sunset views and waterfront dining at places like Pilot House and Elijah’s Oyster & Fish Camp.
