Historic neighborhood along Brandywine Creek
Once a prosperous mill town along the banks of Brandywine Creek, Brandywine Village embraces its rich history in waterfront green spaces, 18th-century mill owner’s homes and vibrant murals of the legendary reggae musician Bob Marley, who used to live in the neighborhood. “It’s a beautiful and historic area,” says Marcia Brunswick, a real estate agent with Re/Max Edge who has been selling homes in the area for over 15 years. “And it feels more prestigious than living downtown.” While the neighborhood offers a change of pace from downtown’s hustle and bustle, residents are about a mile north of the city center and can walk, drive or take the bus into Wilmington’s art, culture and entertainment district.
Bob Marley was one of Brandywine Village's more well-known residents.
Several 18th-century homes still exist along North Market St in Brandywine Village.

A historic district with Georgian estates
The Brandywine Village Historic District is on the south side of the neighborhood along Brandywine Creek. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it includes several estates built by prosperous mill owners in the late 18th century using granite from the area. Local organizations like Old Brandywine Village preserve the district's historic character, and two of the granite homes now serve as the headquarters of the Junior League of Wilmington and the Wilmington Senior Center. The Cathedral Church of St. John looms over the corner of North Market Street and Concord Avenue, and while the Gothic Revival building no longer serves as a house of worship, it now serves as an affordable housing complex for seniors. On the opposite end of Market Street, the Brandywine Methodist Episcopal Church dates to 1857 and remains operating as the Harriet R. Tubman Community United Methodist Church. Further south along Brandywine Creek, Superfine Lane is a high-rise condo complex named after the grade of flour produced along the waterfront, with units selling for about $200,000 to $285,000. Further north, homebuyers will find a mix of row homes and twin homes built around the early 1900s. Most homes feature brick exteriors, oriel windows and columned front porches. Prices for single-family homes range from around $135,000 to $250,000, depending on the size and condition of the home. The neighborhood's overall CAP Index Crime Score is 6 out of 10, higher than the national average of 4.
Many historic buildings can be found throughout Brandywine Village.
