If you want a neighborhood with 'walkability' and close proximity to DuPont, then definitely the Trolley Square area would be your best bet. Also the adjoining area called 'The Highlands'. Cool Spring, while a lovely historic district, does not offer quite the ease of restaurants and shopping. You have to cross over Pennsylvania to get to those services. And there are a number of properties available under $350,000. I have a listing on W. 13th Street that is in that price range & easy walking distance to the shops at Toscana, grocery store, drug store, other restaurants, etc. Call me or email me and I will be glad to provide you with more information. If you will share your email address, I can provide you with a periodic list of properties currently available and update you as new ones come on the market. You are welcome to call my direct line: 302-429-7341. I look forward to speaking with you.

You have made an excellent choice in Wilmington. Both prior answers to your questions are correct but I would not limit you to a small sample of Wilmington neighborhoods. There are several other pockets of neighborhoods within the area that may interest you as well. You may be amazed at the multitude of architectural looks throughout the city. I have put together a small portfolio of homes that may fit your needs. I hope that this helps.
