Historic homes and tight inventory in a walkable neighborhood
Take a walk in Cool Spring Park Historic District, and you can spot angular architecture and peaked roofs of Gothic Revival homes alongside the rambling porches and turreted facades of Queen Annes along the shady sidewalks of the neighborhood. Homes tend to range in price from $270,000 up to nearly $1 million. Farnan says the market is tight in Delaware and if you see a listing go up, expect it to go fast, especially given the neighborhood's central location. "If you want to live in the city, this is an area people flock to," Farnan says. "You've got a lot of 100-year-old houses here." You'll see people out and about walking their dogs, heading to historic Cool Springs or Tilton Park, or driving downtown to catch a show. "You can go out and walk to numerous restaurants around the area, and they're all close to the area," Farnan says.

Cool Spring and Tilton parks are popular for walks and play
Three-acre Tilton Park is a community hub known for its flowering Japanese Kwanzan Cherry Trees and the Tilton Park Tile Mural. Every spring, you'll see cherry blossoms bloom, then drift to the ground and create a pink carpet for a few days. The tile mural was created to showcase the history of Wilmington and the park and has images of Quakers, the Underground Railroad, and soccer, along with information about the park's founder, Dr. James Tilton. "Cool Spring Park and Tilton Park are great for dog walking and basketball," Farnan says.
