Wilmington Real Estate & Homes for Sale in Delaware

The historic city of Wilmington is perhaps the largest bedroom community on the eastern seaboard. Located almost at the midpoint between Boston and Richmond, the city offers easy access to several major metropolitan job centers, such as New York City, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, and Baltimore.

The largest municipality in the state and the largest on the Delmarva Peninsula, Wilmington is home to more than 73,100 residents. More than half of the Fortune 500 companies call the Wilmington area home and the city is often called the "Corporate Capital of the World." From kindergarten to college, Wilmington offers quality education focusing on employment opportunities.

The city's park system is second to none. Outdoor enthusiasts can thank William Bancroft—a successful businessman who was passionately concerned with the preservation of open parkland—for more than 552 acres of picturesque green space in Wilmington, including Rockford Park and Brandywine Park. The du Pont family had enormous influence in early Wilmington. In fact, the E.I. du Pont de Nemours Mansion and Gardens, Winterthur, Hagley Museum and Longwood Gardens showcase the rich historic legacy of the du Pont family.

Wilmington offers many real estate options, with extraordinary Victorian townhouses downtown; high-rise condominiums or attractive single-family homes in friendly neighborhoods including Fairfax, Talleyville and Alapocas; and expansive luxury homes nestled in lush verdant hills.
