Overview

Situated between the Market and the Harbor, Ansonborough was largely rebuilt after the fire of 1838, giving it a unique cohesive look of red brick Greek Revival homes. It feels more 'neighborhoody' than the commercial districts but is instantly close to the Harris Teeter and King Street shopping.

Lifestyle & Vibe

Cultured and convenient. You are likely to see neighbors walking dogs to the Gadsdenboro Park or heading to a show at the Gaillard. It strikes a balance between a quiet residential zone and a vibrant city hub.
