Our Take
Wilmington’s 29902 ZIP offers solid schools and a comfortable income level, but it’s a car‑centric, flood‑prone neighborhood with limited walkability and public transit. It’s a reasonable choice for families and remote workers who don’t mind a car, yet the high flood risk and potential insurance costs are real considerations.
