    What it’s like to live in Delaware Avenue

    Historic elegance defines Delaware Avenue, where this distinguished Wilmington corridor showcases impressive architecture from the city's prosperous industrial era. Rental options include divided mansions and smaller apartment buildings with architectural details rarely available in newer construction. The neighborhood provides excellent access to both downtown employment and Brandywine Park recreation, creating an ideal balance of urban convenience and natural beauty unusual for urban settings. Particularly appealing to professionals working in Wilmington's financial district who appreciate historic character and walkable amenities despite the older systems sometimes found in historic properties requiring understanding of vintage building characteristics.
