A classic Wilmington neighborhood above the Brandywine River
Originally designed as a streetcar suburb more than a century ago, Baynard Village is a predominately residential neighborhood on the north side of Wilmington.
Victoria Dickinson, a local Realtor with Patterson-Schwartz Real Estate, describes the community as part of the city’s back gateway. Driving along Interstate 95, motorists enter Baynard Village by getting off the highway and heading south on Route 202, which functions as an entrance corridor and bisects the densely populated neighborhood arranged in a traditional urban grid pattern. Neighborhood residents enjoy quick access to downtown about two miles away. Even closer to home, a looping tree-covered park trail crosses the Brandywine River, allowing the community to enjoy one of the city’s best natural resources. “That’s the appeal of living in the area,” Dickinson says. “A lot of my clients say they like to go fly fishing during their lunch hour.” Though there are few places to shop or dine in the neighborhood, residents are close to casual and upscale stores and eateries across the river downtown and along Market Street a few blocks south.
Baynard Village sits on the quiet side of the Brandywine River in Wilmington.

Active and passive recreation at Brandywine Park
In addition to hiking its riverside trail, people visiting Brandywine Park along West 18th Street can stare down lemurs, feel the calm vibes of capybaras and watch pythons slither up and down trees at the Brandywine Zoo. After a trip to the zoo, stroll down from Monkey Hill to stop and smell the flowers in the Jasper Crane Rose Garden. For deeper immersion in nature and self-reflection, meditate under the park’s cherry blossom trees by shutting your eyes and focusing on the sound of water streaming over the historic Josephine Fountain.
