You'll find the historic, yet hip, funky and eclectic Wilmington neighborhood of Carolina Heights just off Market Street between 17th and 20th Streets. It was developed around 1908 as one of the city's original "streetcar suburbs". Lush green canopies formed by majestic oaks frame block after block of absolutely charming and unique homes. Most were built between 1910 and 1930 and represent some of the finest examples of that era's popular architectural styles. A leisurely drive through Carolina Heights offers one delightful view after another of cute cottages, cozy bungalows, brightly painted Victorians, and stately Colonials.
