The Wilmore area of Charlotte is a sought after enclave of older Craftsman-style bungalows and small cottages located just outside Center City limits adjacent to the city’s hot South End area.

Wilmore is bordered by South Tryon Street, West Summit Avenue and I-77 and is located just across South Boulevard from historic Dilworth. wilmorehome

Many of Wilmore’s homes were built in the 1920s and 1930s by the families working in the mills and factories in the South End. As Dilworth home prices started to rise in the 1980s, Wilmore became a more affordable option close to Uptown.

Just outside the neighborhood is Atherton Mill, Southside Park, Dilworth and South End. Within walking or biking distance is an endless array of restaurants, shops and parks. LYNX light rail access is within walking distance from some of Wilmore and is just a few minutes away.
