Neighborhood

Don’t be surprised if you see an old-timey merchant ship sailing on the Christina River. No, you haven’t been transported back in time – you’re witnessing an evening cruise taking place on the Kalmar Nyckel. The ship was an important part of Downtown Wilmington’s history, as it was the vessel the founding Swedish settlers arrived on in 1638. Aboard the ship, you might be able to catch a glimpse of its resident boat cat.

Living in Downtown Wilmington, you’re surrounded by historic buildings and modern apartments. The area is bound by Interstate 95, MLK Jr. Boulevard, the Christina River, and Brandywine Creek, providing locals everything from easy commutes to natural landscapes. As you tour your new community, be sure to visit the Delaware History Museum, followed by a beer at the Constitution Yard in Riverfront. The Nomad Bar near Rodney Square offers cool jazz tunes every night of the week.

Renting in Downtown Wilmington, you’re near a plethora of gourmet eateries and city parks.

School data provided by The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
