Real Estate in Monkey Junction?

A small, unincorporated area outside of Wilmington, North Carolina, Monkey Junction has a unique history behind its name. In the late 1930s through the mid-1970s a gas station at the intersection was known for the live monkeys that it kept to attract customers. The bus driver would call out “Monkey Junction” upon reaching the stop, and thus the name was born. Recently, the area has undergone substantial commercial and residential growth.
