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, the 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 spot. 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. Greenfield Park, the largest green space downtown, provides opportunities for kayaking, nature walks and playground activities, though residents should be cautious of alligators. Robert Strange Park and the MLK Community Center are undergoing renovations and are set to reopen in spring 2025 with new amenities. Dram Tree Park offers a boat ramp and grassy lawn along the river. The neighborhood hosts major events such as the North Carolina Azalea Festival in April and Riverfest in October, featuring street fairs, parades and concerts. Schools in the area include Williston Middle and New Hanover High. While grocery stores are not within walking distance, Food Lion is about 2 miles away. Residents enjoy short, walkable commutes to the Central Business District. Parking can be challenging due to the historic nature of the homes, but residents can register for street parking passes.
