Long and Short, Very Happy with the Apartment, the Location, and the Management. My husband and I moved in just over 2 years ago. We were looking for a central location with ready access to public transit and, an easy commute, and appropriate amenities. We found them all at the Residences at Rodney Square.
The gym is large and located in the basement of the building. The Building's original vault has been maintained for display (also in the basement and I am endlessly fascinated by taking a peak at it every time I go down there). There is a business area there with computers and printers, a fax machine is available for use in the office on the first floor. There is a guard / concierge at the front desk. Deliveries and guests must sign in, and may not room the building freely (may seem strange from those not used to city living, but this is an added security feature to ensure residents are the ones in the hallways).
The location of the building is only a block away from the what I refer to as the "Bus Hub". This is the central pick up and drop off point for Wilmington's bus system. From here you can get to just about anywhere in Delaware. Very convenient. It is also located at Rodney Square, a small part right next to the Hotel duPont. Only negative to mention here.. The Park runs events. Those events (especially when music) generate noise. That noise is directed south (and ends up directed at this building). Most of what plays is Jazz / Soul. If you cannot stand that style of music, give it some thought before signing up. This year, every weekend for about two months there have been events. And those events run until around 10:00 pm.
The Management at the Residences at Rodney Square have been understanding and responsive to our requests. Have an issue to be fixed in the apartment, they'll look into it and get it fixed. Have a question, they are there to answer it. Emergencies are handled in a timely fashion, and other items are prioritized accordingly (but also handled in a timely / quick manner).
In closing, we love it here. At this point, the only reason we will move is due to relocation due to work, or moving to a purchased property.
Come join the fun!
