The Flats is a storied Wilmington district where early 20th‑century worker housing is meeting a new generation of energy‑efficient homes and tree‑lined blocks. Anchored by the multi‑phase reinvestment led by Woodlawn Trustees, the neighborhood has retained its classic street grid while adding modern comforts that appeal to first‑time buyers and long‑time residents alike. Everyday essentials are close at hand, with the Union Street corridor and the heart of Wilmington just minutes away, and healthcare nearby at St. Francis Healthcare.
Families appreciate the array of education choices. The area is served by the Red Clay Consolidated School District, and there are respected private options in and around The Flats, including longstanding Catholic and independent schools. Whether you’re drawn by academics, athletics, or arts programs, you’ll find a path that fits.
Weekends bring easy access to culture and green space. The Delaware Art Museum’s collections and sculpture garden offer a creative retreat, while Wilmington State Parks threads together Brandywine Park, scenic trails, and picnic lawns. Dining and festivals in neighboring Little Italy add flavor and community spirit throughout the year. Commuters benefit from proximity to major employers across New Castle County, with quick routes to downtown, the Riverfront, and regional highways.
