Best neighborhoods to rent in Wilmington?
Alright, I've been here for 5 years and You can expect to pay around $2,412 for rent here. Median household income is $161,473, which feels pretty solid for the area. Crime rate is something to consider -Wilmington sits at 133.8 per 100K. Household incomes average around $161,473 in Wilmington. Homes are going for about $646,200 on average. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. Property taxes are high but you get good services. The weather takes some getting used to.
Pros:
- Growing food scene
- Lots of new development
- Good healthcare facilities
- Walkable downtown
Cons:
- Traffic can be terrible
- Limited nightlife
- High property taxes
- Poor road conditions
What do you all think? The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. The weather takes some getting used to. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.
