If you're looking for that cozy, small-town feel interspersed with the excitement of a big city, then Wilmington is the place for you. Located in the northern-most portion of Delaware near the Pennsylvania border and close to the city of Philadelphia, PA, Wilmington has plenty to offer no matter what your age or interests. The specific neighborhood of the city that's best for you can vary based on your budget, but some of the more popular neighborhoods include Trolley Square (which is known for its beautiful architecture) and Bradywine Park (which is dotted with lovely parks and nature trails).
If you're the artsy type, you'll love visiting the Delaware Art Museum, located on Kentemere Parkway. Here, you can enjoy viewing work from local and globally known artists ranging anywhere from the mid 1800s to present day. Be sure to visit plenty throughout the year, though, as they're always featuring new exhibits and galleries.

Not a good place to live
Berkshire Gardens Apartments, located at 1801-1847 Braken Ave in Wilmington, DE 19808, has been a source of immense frustration and disappointment. The management's blatant disregard for residents' concerns is appalling. Maintenance requests are consistently ignored, leaving tenants to endure unresolved issues for extended periods. This neglect creates an environment of discomfort and dissatisfaction. Adding to the distress is the alarming rise in criminal activities in the surrounding area. Recent reports indicate an increase in vehicle thefts and other crimes, contributing to a pervasive sense of insecurity among residents. In conclusion, Berkshire Gardens Apartments epitomizes mismanagement and neglect. The combination of unresponsive management and escalating crime rates makes it an unsuitable choice for anyone seeking a safe and comfortable living environment. Prospective tenants should exercise extreme caution and consider alternative housing options.
