Welcome to Carolina Place / Market Street
This area is known for its bungalow style and unique historic homes. Carolina Place, located off Market St., was built from 1906 to the beginning of World War II, which made Carolina Place the first suburban residential neighborhood in Wilmington. The tree-lined sidewalks and small gardens make this area a very charming place to be.
