Whether your strategy is buy and hold as a rental, or renovate and move-in, this is an ideal market for position for the novice or the experienced. Located just south of Wilmington's corporate limits, this home is a short drive to newer shopping centers, professional offices and restaurants. The area is connected to much newer housing.

The purpose of the Residential-15 (R-15) District is established to provide lands that accommodate very low to low density residential development that can serve as a transition between very low density residential development patterns and smaller lot, more dense residential areas of the County.
