The community features studios, one and two bedroom apartments with open floor plans, quartz counter-tops and high end finishes throughout. Located just steps away from Market Street, entertainment, restaurants and shopping are right outside your doorstep by taking a short walk down the  brand new beautifully lit Burton Place. 

Burton Place Wilmington DE

 Burton Place Passageway commemorates an important ruling in civil rights history. The new road between the two Mid-town Park apartment buildings, which gives access to the parking garage, is named after former Wilmington City Councilman William H. "Dutch" Burton.  Mr. Burton was denied service at the onsite Eagle Coffee Shop in 1958 and the case was taken all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled in favor of Burton. An exclusive dedication event celebrating the historical significance of Burton Place will be held in the near future, complete with the permanent installation of a commemorative plaque. 

If you are interested in calling Mid-town home, act quickly, these apartments were 1/3 of the way leased prior to their grand opening! Visit http://residencesatmidtownpark.com for leasing information.
