Barratts Landing

The county approval is for 244 single family homes.
Home type: single family houses on individual lots.
Builder: not named in any public record we have read as of November 3, 2026. The applicant is a land developer, Eastern States Development.
Floor plans and prices: none released.
Age restriction: none in the county record. Barratts Landing is an all ages plan.
When plans and prices are released, we will put them on this page.

Local reporting on the application lists the amenities. Sizes come with the final plan.
Play area and gazebo: both are in the plan described at the April 2026 hearing.
Walking trails: the county requires them to be hard surfaced and ADA compliant.
Open space: about 16 acres, with about 13 acres of existing woods preserved.
School bus turnaround: the county requires one inside the subdivision.
Amenities on a plan are not open amenities. We will tell you what is built before you commit.

These conditions came with the April 2026 approval. A sales office rarely volunteers them.
Wetlands: the site holds about 8.5 acres of wetlands, and lots must stay out of the wetland and stream buffers.
Old borrow pit: an existing borrow pit on the land is to become a stormwater pond.
Ponds: stormwater ponds may sit 30 feet from lot lines and 35 feet from homes.
Second way in: the applicant must ask DelDOT for a secondary emergency access.
Road crossing: a crossing is required at the southeast part of the site.
No link to next door: the county waived the usual rule that a new subdivision connect its streets to the land next to it, because of the wetlands and because there are no street stubs to connect to.
Call us at 302-549-5164 and we will walk you through what these mean for any lot.
