Hilltop
Hilltop
What it’s like to live in Hilltop
Affordable suburban living shines near Prices Corner Shopping Center. Renters enjoy 1970s split-levels but face 45-minute commutes to Philadelphia jobs via I-95. Limited dining beyond chain bistros tests culinary patience.

What it’s like to live in Cool Spring-tilton Park
Victorian architecture distinguishes Cool Spring/Tilton Park, where Wilmington's western neighborhood showcases impressive homes from the late 19th century. Many larger houses have been thoughtfully divided into spacious apartments with original details intact. The neighborhood provides easy access to both downtown employment and Brandywine Park recreational opportunities, though some blocks show varied investment levels requiring local knowledge.

East Side
What it’s like to live in East Side
First-time renters find exceptional value in East Side, where brick row homes offer significantly more space than downtown options at fraction of the cost. The neighborhood's proximity to both I-95 and downtown employment creates easy commutes in multiple directions. Unlike trendier districts, you'll find streets where neighbors still recognize each other and local businesses remember regular customers by name.
