The area is way over crowded now and is too expensive for what you get. Bumper to bumper traffic everywhere you go. When I am able to move, I certainly will.

Traffic made the con list for sure. Outside of the Wilmington proper is not that bad. It is all relative to what you were use too. Thanks for watching!

Wilmington is way overdeveloped without any infrastructure to support it. It is also full of addicts-as there is a thriving "recovery" industry here-practicing catch and release once the insurance runs out.
Forget going to the beach anymore-70k people trying to get on a beach with parking for 3k. Prices are skyrocketing for rentals as well as new homes.
Insurance , both home and auto, prices are insane-every hurricane the rates rise to pay for all the claims from the Mcmansions on the beaches (which you cant get to) and auto accidents due to terrible road planning, and uninsured illegals that flock here to do landscaping and building high density rat traps..
Speaking of high density-that is a priority for the zoning commission and city council-so, the home you buy in a quiet area with some trees-WILL be clear cut and infilled with apartments.
35 years ago-it was a paradise....now-it is the equivalent of a more humid Newark NJ.
