Revitalization in the industrial South Wilmington neighborhood
South Wilmington is a small industrial neighborhood on a low-lying peninsula along the Christina River. Separated from the rest of the city, South Wilmington is surrounded by manufacturing plants and borders one of the largest shipping ports in the country. While this industrialization is a huge source of income for the state, the hazardous materials and pollution expelled from the factories have left many parts of South Wilmington a toxic waste dump. Organizations like the South Wilmington Planning Network are working to revitalize the area, introducing green infrastructures and new shopping centers.
South Wilmington offers many different styles of homes.
South Wilmington is a small residential community just outside of Downtown Wilmington.

Older rowhomes and new condos in Christina Landing
Red-brick rowhomes with Italianate architecture were built in South Wilmington at the turn of the twentieth century. Wide sidewalks with weeds sprouting through the cracks meet small front yards littered with plastic toys. American Foursquares and minimal traditional homes from the mid-1900s can be found on narrow lots throughout the neighborhood. While most row homes only offer street parking, single-family detached houses feature gravel driveways that lead to backyard garages. Thanks to the neighborhood’s revitalization initiative, modern high-rise condos and new traditional townhomes were built around 2005 in the Christina Landing subdivision along the river. These newer homes feature modern interiors and balconies with waterfront views. A two-to-three-bedroom townhome in Christina Landing usually lists between $400,000 and $500,000. Meanwhile, a larger and older American Foursquare costs between $100,000 to $200,000 in South Wilmington.
Brick rowhomes in South Wilmington often have small front porches with ample street parking.
