    Centered on the Cape Fear River, 28401 spans Wilmington’s historic downtown, the Brooklyn Arts District, Castle Street’s galleries and vintage shops, and leafy Greenfield Lake. Expect humid subtropical weather, walkable brick streets, and a lively arts-and-theater scene at Thalian Hall and the Wilson Center, plus big outdoor shows at Live Oak Bank Pavilion and Greenfield Lake Amphitheater. The Riverwalk, Battleship North Carolina, the Cotton Exchange, and Chandler’s Wharf anchor weekend strolls, with coffee at Bespoke or Drift, boutiques, local gyms and yoga studios, and a Riverfront Farmers’ Market. Dining leans Southern‑coastal—PinPoint, Copper Penny, Front Street Brewery, Savorez—and includes craft spots like Edward Teach and Flytrap Brewing. Nearby supermarkets make errands easy. Recent Zillow market trends show a median asking rent around $1,750, with most listings roughly $1,200–$2,600 and upscale riverfront apartments higher. The area feels community‑forward and pet friendly with riverfront walks and patio spots, yet lively at night; families enjoy parks, playgrounds, festivals, and quick beach access via US-74/76 and MLK Parkway.
