Browntown

Browntown has great access to the riverfront through Beech Street which is a fabulous shortcut during games or when there is traffic. (Feel free to use that route but keep it between us.)

I would love to see some condo high rises on the west side of the freeway to pschologically tie in the two neighborhoods. You would have to angle them so that you weren't staring at the freeway though.

Mglan80: I think if you get a tape measure, you'll find that the rowhomes in the Browntown/Lancaster Ave. area are pretty small compared to the ones in Trolley Square or Quaker Hill.

There may be some confusion as to boundaries of neighborhoods. The bottom of the hill is Browntown (small homes), the middle of the hill is Hedgeville (larger row homes and duplexes), and the top of the hill is Bayard Square (pretty pricey). Most people from outside call all of that whole area of south Wilmington "Browntown" and, as long as you don't call it South Bridge , we usually let it slide.
