Wide streets and sidewalks lined with ranch-style and Colonial homes
The community's suburban streets are fringed by leafy oak trees and manicured lawns. Wide streets and sidewalks are perfect for jogging and cycling, and the nearby Wilmington Transit Center puts downtown shopping and workplaces in Wilmington just under three miles away. Nearby freeways give locals a quick route to the Wilmington Airport five miles away. Single-family houses constitute Ashley’s diverse residential landscape and a small collection of town houses. Ranch-style homes are a common sight along neighborhood streets, whose open-concept interiors allow homeowners to take advantage of every inch of living space. There are also several different Cape Cod and Colonial-style houses, sporting similar simplistic architecture as the ranch-style, yet with community spaces built onto the first floor and bedrooms on the second floor.
