Learn More AboutSatterfield
A Balanced Lifestyle in the Heart of Kent County
Satterfield strikes a rare balance between the privacy of a rural setting and the connectivity of a suburban neighborhood. With approximately 300 homesites, the community was master-planned to emphasize natural beauty and social connection. The central community pond and expansive green buffers give the neighborhood its signature "open-air" feel.}
Spacious Low-Density Living: Unlike many new 55+ developments where homes are tightly packed, Satterfield features generous 1/3-acre lots. This allows for authentic outdoor living, whether you are interested in private gardening, installing a custom patio, or simply enjoying a large, accessible backyard.
Accessible Pedestrian Infrastructure: The community is designed with a comprehensive network of pedestrian-friendly sidewalks and paved trails. These paths meander around the scenic water features and through the various residential loops, making it easy to stay active and social without ever leaving the neighborhood.
Centralized Delaware Convenience: Positioned perfectly in the center of the state, Satterfield offers the "Delaware Advantage" in every direction. The shopping hubs of Dover are a quick drive north and the Atlantic coast is a scenic 45-minute trip south, all while returning to the quiet, star-filled skies of Felton.
