    "I have lived here since 12/11 when I retired. With Downtown 16 blocks away and Market, 16th & 17th Streets it is a very convenient location.Many young professionals with children are moving here because of the house value, off street parking, large backyards & convenient location."

    "You have to drive through a not-so-nice part of town to get to your house because there is one way in....and one way out..the people who live in the not-so-nice section love to hang out on the road and won't move until you get near. You must always keep a watchful eye out on the kids from that area...always playing in the street and won't move! Now that it's getting nicer out, myself and a couple neighbors have had problems with the same kids time and time again rolling around in our yards and playing near...and even on our vehicles. Ugh! Oh well...it's a nice little community. I just wish it was in a different section of Downtown Wilmington"

    "I wish this house was on the market when I was looking to buy , I love the neighborhood and blocks to my job at PPD , I bought in Sunset Park and I wish I was closer to Downtown now so I could walk to work , walk the dogs on the river and night life of downtown .. The tropical landscaping , huge yard and terra cotta tile makes it feel like you are at a cozy beach cottage ... Next time ! "
