Wilmington's Riverside Apartments: WWII Housing-- Part 2

They rented for $41.85 and $43.85 a month depending if they were on a corner or not. After the war, it later was named Dove Meadows and started deteriorating and became an embarrasment to the city.

A New Jersey construction company bought it from HUD in 1983 to convert the complex into 474 one and two bedroom townhomes, but HUD ended up foreclosing on them.

Later, the Wilmington Housing Authority acquired it and in 2002 demolished it for a new neighborhood. 

Today it is called Sunset South.
