Wawaset Park pairs early 20th-century pedigree with everyday convenience, offering winding boulevards, pocket greens, and distinctive Tudor, Colonial Revival, and Arts & Crafts homes conceived as a planned garden community. Minutes from downtown Wilmington, the neighborhood’s thoughtful layout and mature canopy create a residential setting that feels gracious and well-composed, yet wonderfully connected.
Cultural anchors are close at hand. Stroll to the acclaimed Delaware Art Museum for rotating exhibitions and outdoor sculpture along Kentmere Parkway, or spend an afternoon around Rockford Tower and meadows in Wilmington State Parks. Cafés and pubs on Pennsylvania Avenue are a quick hop, with broader dining and nightlife in Trolley Square and authentic Italian bakeries and festivals in nearby Little Italy. Commuters appreciate swift access to major corridors and a straightforward trip to Philadelphia.
Education is a standout. Esteemed independent schools ring the neighborhood, including the all-boys college preparatory Salesianum School and coeducational Tower Hill School, both known for rigorous academics and deep community involvement. Weekends bring jogs through the parks, museum programs for all ages, and neighborhood gatherings that highlight Wawaset Park’s enduring sense of place and architectural character.
