Devon Park Homes for Rent

Devon Park in Wilmington is a traditional subdivision located east of Midtown Wilmington, bordered by parks on two sides. This neighborhood features ranch-style homes and cottages built between the 1940s and 70s, with floor spaces ranging from 1,000 to 2,000 square feet. Newer cottages and pockets of 1980s-built condos and townhouses are also present. The area is conveniently situated between the Downtown Riverwalk and Wrightsville Beach, offering residents access to major waterways. Devon Park is within walking distance of Empie Park, which includes tennis and pickleball courts, a playground, baseball fields, basketball courts, and a dog park. The neighborhood also borders Anne McCrary Park, a popular spot for fishing, kayaking, and boating. The Cross City Trail, a well-known walking and biking path, is another local feature. New Hanover High School, which has a high rating and a history of athletic achievements, serves the area. While the neighborhood lacks sidewalks, making walkability limited, it is close to shopping and dining options, including Independence Mall and two local breweries. WAVE Transit bus stops provide public transportation options, and major roads like College Road can experience heavy traffic during rush hours. Wilmington International Airport is a 15 to 20-minute drive away, and the University of North Carolina Wilmington is just 2 to 4 miles from the neighborhood.
