Forest Hills has long been one of Wilmington's most prestigious neighborhoods. The ride along Forest Hills drive offers one of the more picturesque scenes in the region. Tree lined streets and sidewalks front stately, classic homes and well landscaped yards. One of the traditions of this old Wilmington neighborhood is to place candles alongside the road on Christmas Eve, making it a popular showcase for the holiday.

Negatives: Older homes require more maintenance, though most of the homes in this area have been beautifully maintained.
