Overall it's a nice community to live in. Following are some of the pros and cons of it that I would like to share based on my stay here for almost 2 years now. Pros: - Landscaping - Neighborhood - Maintenance staff and turnaround - Residents Cons: - Pricing - Condition and usability of some of the facilities - Parking (finding one could be a challenge at times depepending on where your apartment unit is located)

      Quiet community and the staff are friendly and willing to help. When I first moved in, I suffered from noise from neighbor (I could hear my neighbors conversation from my bedroom) so I requested to switch to another apt. The staff helped a lot during the internal transfer process. Special thanks to Kerlene.

        Love the apartment. After a lot of searching, I settled on this apartment in Wilmington. The view from my porch is something I love waking up to every morning. I would continue to stay here if I were to renew my lease.

          Safe, family environment. The pool , tennis court and exercise room are nice features. Always see many children out, riding bicycles, and playing on the playground. There are also many people that walk their dogs

            I have just moved in to the property but experience till now has been really great. It's a wonderful property with a thriving community. I love how close to nature the property is while maintaining the comforts. The leasing process was a breeze and the team here is super helpful. Will recommend this to anyone in the area

              Top of the Hill Apartment Complex is a Jewel in the midst of Wilmington DE. The Buildings, the landscaping, the contemporary style apartment are really beautiful. It is like living in a Resort. And the Office always helps with any request. One such extraordinary kindness was done by one of the gentlemen, whereby he picked up some medicine I needed when I could not do so myself. I have loved living here.

                            Nice, quiet area, great maintenance staff, and management staff. Always immediately respond to any maintenance requests. Conveniently close to 95. There is not central lighting in the bedroom & living room -- have to buy lamps.

                              It is good so far. Maintenance is fast! The community is good. I just feel there is less light on the roads but that's not an issue if you won't be coming home late. Finding a good parking spot is a struggle, I wish I could just reserve on near my apartment.But overall I like staying here!
