Riverfront is Wilmington’s modern waterfront playground, where historic shipyards gave way to a mile-long Riverwalk and a calendar full of festivals, ballgames, and sunset strolls. Families spend weekends exploring the hands-on galleries at the Delaware Children's Museum and catching productions at the Delaware Theatre Company, while baseball fans cheer the Blue Rocks at Frawley Stadium. Dining ranges from chef-driven eateries to casual beer gardens, many with Christina River views.
Nature is part of the daily routine here. The DuPont Environmental Education Center brings the tidal marsh alive with boardwalks, birding, and kid-friendly programs, and the Jack A. Markell Trail links the Riverfront to parks and the historic streets of New Castle. Commuters appreciate that downtown Wilmington is a quick walk or bike ride, regional rail puts Philadelphia within easy reach, and major routes connect seamlessly across New Castle County.
School options reflect the city’s flexibility: households consider Christina School District and Red Clay Consolidated School District boundaries, alongside selective magnets and charters such as The Charter School of Wilmington and Cab Calloway School of the Arts. Housing leans contemporary—loft-style apartments, glassy condos, and new townhomes—balanced by pocket parks, a riverfront rink, and community events that make meeting neighbors effortless.
