I think Myrtle Grove is a great community. I moved here recently and it's nice that the things we need are grouped together. You don't have to go far into Wilmington or into the traffic because you have what you need right there. The people are nice too and are willing to help anyone in need. It's pretty safe compared to downtown Wilmington, and it's nice to be separate from the city life.

In certain areas in Wilmington you are extremely safe. But if you are downtown you need to be careful, and always be on the lookout. Shootings happen fairly regularly.
