Community pride next to the scenic Brandywine River
The residential streets of Triangle, a walkable suburb a mile outside of Wilmington, fittingly form a triangle – enclosed by 18th Street, Baynard Boulevard and Broom Street. While conveniently located off the busy Interstate 95, Brandywine Park and the Brandywine River give this neighborhood a quiet respite. Well-maintained early 20th-century homes boast landscaped gardens, nodding to the pride that residents feel toward their community. And recreation is always a walk away, as the Brandywine Zoo and Jasper Crane Rose Garden are just across 18th Street, and the popular downtown is easily accessed across the Washington Street and Van Buren Bridges.
Downtown Wilmington is just a short drive from Triangle.

Outdoor entertainment for all at Brandywine Park
Triangle residents have the advantage of Brandywine Park and all its amenities, which include a rose garden, zoo, walking trail and sports fields. “The Friends of Wilmington Parks will host garden party events with light refreshments at Jasper Crane Rose Garden,” says Siwa Versnel, a staff member for Wilmington State Parks. “It’s a way for the community to get together and appreciate the flowers.” Pickleball and tennis courts are first-come, first-serve, and the Wilmington Little League plays on the baseball field. The park also offers a playground, a dog park and the Brandywine Zoo. The Brandywine River flows through the green space, offering scenic walks along the park’s trail, which is part of the 10-mile Northern Delaware Greenway Trail. “We see lots of dog walkers and people on bicycles and roller skates,” Versnel says. “They do a lot of 5Ks, like the ShadRun. It’s part of ShadFest, which is a free family event for the local fish that breeds naturally in the Brandywine River.” Additionally, she mentions a free summer concert series that takes place at the Sugar Bowl Pavilion, also in Brandywine Park.

Limited early-1900s colonials and Foursquares
Most homes in Triangle were built in the early 1900s, maintaining a vintage charm that pairs well with neat, manicured lawns and narrow one-way avenues lined with sidewalks. Typical housing styles include American Foursquares, Craftsman bungalows and colonials and Dutch, Victorian or Tudor influences. "There are 80- and 90-year-old Victorian homes in the neighborhood," says Peter Meyer, a broker with Meyer & Meyer Realty. "Our real estate taxes are a lot lower than other places. Inventory is low in Wilmington, even with high interest rates." It’s not uncommon to find no single-family houses and maybe one multifamily property on the market at any given time. These 1,500- to 3,500-square-foot single-family homes, many cozied up close to their neighbors with detached garages around the back and fenced-in yard space, generally cost between $300,000 and $650,000. Brick and stone 1,350- to 2,000-square-foot twin homes with wide front porches might offer shared driveways or street parking, usually priced from $250,000 to $380,000.

While there are no restaurants along the residential streets that confine Triangle, there are plenty of dining and nightlife options nearby.
