Heart of Downtown - Front/Market Street

Welcome to Momentum Loft!

Our second floor condo overlooks the hustle & bustle of a busy and vibrant downtown Wilmington. Located in the busy intersection of Front and Market Street, the condo is footsteps away from shopping, dining, entertainment and attractions. Our location is a convenient stroll down the Riverwalk to Live Oak Bank Pavilion, Wilmington Convention Center and downtown wedding venues. Our block boasts storefront shopping full of retail, restaurants, deserts, and even an Irish Pub next door.

Our guests can expect the usual city noise. There are no clubs on this section of the block that play loud bass through the night. The Irish Pub next door does have 2 outdoors speakers that play music at a tolerable level until 2am. The living room is in the front of the condo to enjoy a bird’s eye view of what’s happening on the streets below. The bedroom is in the back of the unit eliminating a significant amount of the street noise.

Once you get downtown you don’t need your car anymore because you can walk everywhere. Our guests usually park in the City of Wilmington’s Market Street Parking Deck (behind the buildings across the street). The parking deck is pay by the hour or 14.00 all day if you don’t leave the deck. We offer premium parking in our private space on the ground level with unlimited exit/entry for 15.00 a day. It’s not included in the price of the stay because half of our guests travel to Wilmington by air and don’t need parking. If you are interested in premium parking, just let us know after you book. We will also ask when we send the check-in information on the morning of your stay.

Have an amazing time in Wilmington!

Great location! I was there to go wedding dress shopping with my daughter and since her apartment was full, I opted to stay downtown where I could walk every where! The place had a great vibe and was perfect more me traveling alone. Is there noise from the street at night, sure but it didn’t bother me much at all. It was clean and had everything I needed for a short stay. I would definitely stay there again. Hunter was very responsive!

Amazing hosts!!! Great communication, flexibility and knowledge of the area. Hunter gave us some great food and drink suggestions (don’t forget to stop by the distillery below the loft). Easy check-in, super safe area, steps from anything you could need, and all the basics amenities you need are in the apartment. Good sized place and didn’t feel cramped. Plenty of room to recharge after walking all over downtown Wilmington. Thanks again and hope to be back soon!!!
