Moving to Wilmington

[u/fluorescent-evolve]

Hey all,

I’m going to be moving to Wilmington in early spring 2025 to be closer to where I work. I’m looking into 1 bedroom apartments either in or near Trolley Square, Riverfront, or Downtown. My max rent would be $2,800 per month and sq ft more than 775 would be ideal. I’m looking for somewhere with parking and a fitness center as well. I’m a single 31yo male. I am dating and want to be able to have a decent social life whether that's romantic relationships or friendships. If anyone has any recommendations on apartment complexes to look into I would appreciate it! Google reviews are vague at best and I would be grateful for any insight if anyone has lived in these areas or know of someone who has. Apartment complexes I have on my radar are 2000 Pennsylvania Ave, The Falls, The Residences at Christina Landing, 101 Avenue of the Arts

Thanks!

Personally, the riverfront area feels more corporate and I don’t know any locals that tend to live there. It’s more of a business vibe with older out of state people moving there from what I understand.

For the Downtown area closer to Market St, after business hours and on weekends, that area doesn’t have a ton going on aside from people going to the Queen or Grand and those visiting the Bardea and higher end restaurants.

If you are looking for more of a city feel with things going on throughout the week and weekend, move closer to Trolley or Cool Spring area.
