Wilmington, DE Apartments for Rent

Wilmington is located where the Christina River meets Brandywine Creek in northern Delaware. Founded in 1638 as the site of Fort Christina-the first Swedish settlement in North America-it's now the state's largest city and the county seat of New Castle County. As a major hub in the Delaware Valley metropolitan area, Wilmington features a downtown financial district packed with banking institutions and corporate offices. If you're searching for apartments for rent in Wilmington, you'll discover everything from waterfront apartment communities along the Riverfront district to charming units in established neighborhoods like Trolley Square, The Highlands, and the historic districts of Quaker Hill and Little Italy.

Renting in Wilmington means easy access to both local attractions and regional transportation. The Riverfront district offers entertainment, dining, and recreation along the popular Riverwalk, while the city's extensive parkland includes Brandywine Park with its scenic walking trails and Rockford Park's wide-open spaces. Cultural attractions like the Delaware Art Museum and Grand Opera House enhance the city's appeal, and residents can enjoy year-round community events, including the Italian Festival and Clifford Brown Jazz Festival. The AMTRAK station on South French Street connects you to major cities along the Northeast Corridor, while local bus routes operated by the Delaware Transit Corporation provide convenient transportation throughout the city. Major highways make commuting to Philadelphia and other nearby employment centers a breeze, positioning Wilmington as an ideal spot for renters working throughout the region.

Why Wilmington?

  • The Delaware Art Museum houses several permanent collections, special exhibits, and events.
  • Riverfront Wilmington features the Delaware Center for the Contemporary Arts, restaurants, and shops.
  • Wilmington’s nine historic districts include Quaker Hill, Market Street, and Delaware Avenue.
  • A strong economy with several businesses, including major banking institutions, and the Port of Wilmington.
  • The University of Delaware and Delaware State University both have campuses in Wilmington.
  • Four state parks: Brandywine Park, Rockford Park, Alapocas Woods Natural Area, and H. Fletcher Brown Park.
