North Brandywine
Neighborhood in Wilmington, Delaware
New Castle County 19802
About one mile north of Downtown Wilmington, North Brandywine is an urban neighborhood that exudes a historic atmosphere. Marcia Brunswick, Realtor with RE/MAX, says, “People really like the neighborhood because the homes are beautiful, it’s not far from the city, and it feels more prestigious being in the north side of town.”
North Brandywine is laid out predominantly by brick row homes and twins built in the 1920s. They feature a mix of colonial and Victorian-style architecture that add character to this small and charming neighborhood. Some homes have small front yards with a porch where you can relax, while others are lined up directly against the sidewalk so you can be on the move the second you walk out the door. Each home is typically two-to-three stories with three or four bedrooms. Prices for these attached homes start at about $120,000, with renovated properties reaching up to $200,000.
Brandywine Park, Delaware’s first and largest urban park, is just a few blocks away, offering 178 acres of green space along the rushing water of Brandywine Creek. Go for a stroll on the trail while soaking in views of the water and the spandrel arches of the historic Washington Street Bridge leading to the tall office buildings downtown. Bask in the beauty of the park’s historic Jasper Crane Rose Garden. And during peak season, walk through the gorgeous cherry blossom display beautified by the work of art of Josephine Fountain. As the first park in Delaware, it’s also home to the state’s first zoo, where you can check out several mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians. Another fun place to visit is One Love Park, located across the street from Bob Marley’s former home, named in honor of the reggae star’s hit song “One Love.” The park has a playground and basketball court, making it a frequent spot to see kids playing outdoors.
You’ll find many local restaurants along N Market Street serving a variety of comfort foods. If you like fried chicken, New York Fried Chicken is the place to go. Or cross the street for some Greek food at Gyro Everyday, both of which serve Halal food. Stop by Pete’s Pizza for a cheesesteak, stromboli or of course, pizza. Or, for a quick snack, head to one of the neighborhood’s corner markets, where you can also grab some groceries.
Elementary students go to Shortlidge Elementary School for kindergarten through second grade before finishing at Warner Elementary School. They go on to Skyline Middle School, which has a B- rating from Niche and offers a growing STEM program. Most high schoolers attend John Dickinson High School, which has a B+ rating from Niche and is one of just five high schools in Delaware to offer the International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme. Some students in the south side of North Brandywine attend Thomas McKean High School, which has a partnership with Delaware Public Media, allowing students to gain experience in radio and journalism.
Beautified by historic homes and scenic parks, Northern Village could be the perfect place for someone who wants to live just outside Downtown Wilmington.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
