First time home buyer in Wilmington
Longtime lurker here, I'm a 28-year-old police officer and Household incomes average around $55,269 in Wilmington. You can expect to pay around $1,187 for rent here. Median household income is $55,269, which feels about average for the area. Average temperature is around 53--F, so expect cold winters. The median home value here is around $224,500, which is actually reasonable. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The weather takes some getting used to. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. Public transit needs a lot of work honestly.
Pros:
- Lots of new development
- Good healthcare facilities
- Good internet infrastructure
Cons:
- Not very walkable
- High property taxes
- Few job opportunities in some fields
- Homelessness issues downtown
It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. The city has invested a lot in new development. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The food scene here is surprisingly good.
