About
Wilm #13 is a Delaware BRIGHT public records geographic area code covering a portion of Wilmington’s 19806 ZIP, encompassing blocks near Woodlawn Avenue, Kentmere Parkway, and the edges of the Highlands and Forty Acres neighborhoods. Homes in this public records zone are predominantly brick twin (semi-detached) and row structures built in the 1920s, reflecting the residential expansion that followed Wilmington’s annexation of the west side and the development of Kentmere Parkway — a curvilinear boulevard completed in the early 1890s under industrialist William P. Bancroft in collaboration with landscape firm successor John C. Olmsted. The Delaware Art Museum (founded 1912, located at 2301 Kentmere Parkway) and the 178-acre Brandywine Park (established 1886, on the National Historic Register since 1976) sit within or directly adjacent to this zone, providing walkable access to cultural and recreational infrastructure that is verifiable and permanent.

Worth Asking
Have you considered that purchasing within an public records-coded area like Wilm #13 — rather than a platted subdivision — means the ‘neighborhood’ boundaries are set by a trade database, not a recorded deed or municipal ordinance, and that school assignments, city historic district overlays, and zoning designations may differ block by block within the same public records code?
Common Questions
What does ‘Wilm #13’ mean, and is it a formal neighborhood?
Wilm #13 is a geographic area code used by the BRIGHT public records to organize listings within Wilmington, Delaware’s 19806 ZIP code. It is not a recorded subdivision plat, a named community with a homeowners association, or a city-designated neighborhood boundary. Public records area codes help agents sort listings, but they do not carry the legal weight of a plat or a municipal neighborhood designation. Properties within Wilm #13 sit near Woodlawn Avenue, Kentmere Parkway, and the Highlands and Forty Acres neighborhoods, all of which have distinct histories and, in some cases, separate city historic district protections.
Which schools serve homes in the Wilm #13 MLS area?
Homes in this part of Wilmington fall within the Red Clay Consolidated School District. Two Red Clay elementary schools carry 19806 addresses: Joseph E. Johnson Elementary School (2100 Gilpin Avenue) and William C. Lewis Dual Language Elementary School (920 North Van Buren Street). School assignment is determined by the district’s attendance zone boundaries, which can differ from public records area boundaries — buyers should contact Red Clay Consolidated directly at redclayschools.com to confirm the assignment for any specific address before making a purchase decision.
Are homes in Wilm #13 subject to historic district regulations?
Parts of the 19806 ZIP that overlap with Wilm #13 fall within city-designated historic districts, including the Kentmere Parkway City Historic District and the Rockford Park City Historic District, both regulated by the City of Wilmington’s Land Use and Planning department. Properties within these overlays may require design review approval for exterior alterations. The Delaware Avenue City Historic District also covers adjacent blocks. Buyers should request a zoning verification letter from the City of Wilmington to determine whether a specific property carries a historic district overlay and what restrictions apply.
Items to Verify with Your Agent
A few specifics on this page are sourced from secondary aggregators or older filings. Confirm before relying:
- Entity Type — Preset as ‘subdivision’ but Wilm #13 is a BRIGHT public records geographic area code, not a recorded subdivision plat or named planned community. Overridden to ‘borough_or_community’ to reflect the public records zoning area nature of this identifier.
- Hoa Name — No HOA found. This public records area covers urban Wilmington city blocks with no documented community association. Individual condo buildings within 19806 may have separate associations, but no neighborhood-wide HOA exists.
- Approx Homes — Cannot be verified. Wilm #13 is an public records area code with no publicly documented home count. The area boundaries are not codified in any publicly accessible municipal or plat record found during research.
- Builder — Organic urban development across multiple decades; no single builder identified. 2100 Woodlawn Ave (a confirmed Wilm #13 property) was built in 1923 with no builder named in public records.
- Most Common Elementary — Public sales data shows this field blank. Two Red Clay elementary schools serve the 19806 ZIP (Johnson Elementary and Lewis Dual Language Elementary), but precise attendance zone boundary mapping for the specific blocks within Wilm #13 was not resolvable from public sources. Buyers must confirm directly with Red Clay Consolidated.
- Interior Sqft Range Text — Range is inferred from documented listings in the 19806 ZIP near Woodlawn Avenue and is not a statistically verified range for all properties within the Wilm #13 public records code.
