A New Chapter for a North Wilmington Landmark
This community is more than just a housing development; it is the thoughtful repurposing of over 100 acres of prime Brandywine Hundred real estate. It bridges the gap between the suburban peace of Shipley Road and the vibrant commercial hub of Concord Pike.
Connected Living: A defining feature of this community is its pedestrian and bicycle connectivity. Residents can walk through the neighborhood directly into the Concord Square Shopping Center, making a morning trip for coffee or a grocery run possible without ever getting in a car.
Preserved Greenery: Roughly 44 acres of the former club grounds have been dedicated to open space and educational use, ensuring that the "park-like" feel of the original country club remains a part of the residents' daily view.
Boutique Neighborhood Feel: The residential portion is divided into distinct sections, separating the luxury rental apartments from the owner-occupied villas and single-family homes. This creates a quiet, neighborly environment for those who own their property.
Strategic Access: Designed to manage traffic while providing ease of movement, the single-family homes primarily take access from Shipley Road, while the commercial and apartment side flows toward the shopping centers on 202.
