I have lived in Wilmington my entire life! It has overall been a good experience. It is one of those areas where you'll most likely find someone who knows someone you know. As we like to say, its a small world, especially in Delaware! There are many parks around here and the beaches aren't too far away. The restaurants are awesome! One of my favorite places is the boardwalk on the riverfront. It is super beautiful!
Wilmington has some of the nicest people and experiences ever imaginable. There is much more culture and diversity than you would expect. From the food, to the museums and experiences near by you are sure to fall in love with the atmosphere. There are many amazing schools, and jobs near with plenty of affordability plus no sales tax. I have lived in Wilmington my whole life and I know after college I will be 100% sure about coming back!
Wilmington isn't perfect but it's not terrible either, they had good areas and parts that are not so great. It seems they want to clean up the bad areas but aren't sure where to start or how to do it. No where is perfect but Wilmington is a good as you make it!
