Airlie Forest Real Estate
Airlie Forest
One of the best known gems in Wilmington has to be Airlie Gardens. And nestled just down the road from the gates to the Gardens is a namesake upscale neighborhood: Airlie Forest. This is a small neighborhood only one block in length. It stretches From Airlie Road to Wrightsville Avenue. In a somewhat strange twist, the entrance is gated on the Wrightsville Avenue side but not on the Airlie Road side.
The popular and stated brick column to mark an entrance to many of Wilmington’s neighborhoods can be found in Airlie Forest as well. The entrance from Airlie Road is accented by a small pond beside the entrance.
Given the size of the neighborhood, it is safe to say that all the neighbors know one another. So if you are looking for the neighborhood where everyone knows your name, this is it!
