South End is named for its location; on the south end of uptown along the South Boulevard corridor. Known for its shops and restaurants, this area is becoming increasingly popular as the light rail line reaches its completion. Wilmore, on the edge of South End is experiencing a recent resurgence as modest bungalows are being remodeled and property values soar. This neighborhood is also the home to the first Bojangle's restaurant. Noteworthy: Atherton Mill, Tremont Music Hall, and The Arlington, the area's pink condominium high-rise.
