    "Great neighborhood, would recommend Wilmington to everyone but very hot in summer. Schools seems to be adequate but my children are grown."
  • Sabrina N.
    "I’ve lived in this neighborhood most of my life as well as my grandfather. Always been a great place if you’re looking for somewhere to relax. "
  • Trulia User
    "Echo Farms = nice. Antiqua = horrible. Nothing unique or happy about it. Just waiting until we can move. Dirty apartments, unhelpful leasing office staff, cockroaches everywhere, awful neighbors, terrible laundromat, NOT actually dog friendly, everything breaks, crocodiles to worry about, trash everywhere, and unsafe at night with drivers nearly mowing you over or weirdos lurking about."
  • anonymous
    "The apartment complex “Antiqua” says that they’re dog friendly, but they’re really NOT. It’s bad. Living there has been horrific for my dogs and myself. Don’t bother. Other than that, dogs are welcomed in the Echo Farms area!"
  • Shelly H
    "There are several dog owners in our neighborhood. Many people walk their dogs. There have been some complaints to our HOA about people not picking up after their dogs and dogs barking late at night, but those complaints are rare."
  • Porth d.
    "It is close to everything and I feel very safe living here. All of the yard work is taken care of, leaving me time to enjoy living!"
