Sunset Park Historic District
Sunset Park Historic District, Historic residential district in Wilmington, United States
The neighborhood covers 227 acres with tree-lined roads, concrete sidewalks, and diverse architectural styles including Craftsman and Colonial Revival buildings.
The Fidelity Trust and Development Company purchased the land for 35,000 dollars in March 1912 and initiated lot sales in October of that year.
The district demonstrates early 20th century community planning with curvilinear boulevards, landscaped islands, and parks facing the Cape Fear River.
Located three miles south of downtown Wilmington, the district provides access to recreational activities at Greenfield Lake Park, including hiking and kayaking.
The neighborhood design draws inspiration from Atlanta's Ansley Park and Westland Estates, featuring wide boulevards and setback restrictions for residential properties.
