Spring Arbor

Every home in Spring Arbor is a resale. There are two kinds: single-family ranch homes and attached carriage homes.
Ranch homes: the Atwood, about 1,744 square feet, the Wyatt, about 1,936, and the Brooks and the Dalton, each about 2,035, with two to four bedrooms depending on how the home was built.
Carriage homes: the Corbit, about 1,199 square feet, the Everett, about 1,426, and the DuPont, about 1,604, most with two or three bedrooms.
Builder: the homes were built by McKee Builders.
Age: homes were built from about 2007 to 2018, so a home from the early phases may be due for a roof, a heat pump or a water heater sooner than a newer one.
Recent prices: 4 homes closed in August 2026 at a median of $425,000.
The exact plan, size and age of any home is on its listing, and we will pull it for you.

The amenities are centered on the clubhouse at 106 Gazebo Lane.
Clubhouse: about 7,000 square feet, with a great room and dance floor, a library, a kitchen and bar, a conference room, a lounge and a billiards room.
Fitness: a fitness center inside the clubhouse.
Pool: an outdoor pool with a patio.
Outside: bocce courts, a horseshoe pit, a putting green and walking trails.

Spring Arbor is inside the Town of Middletown limits, and the town, not a private company, supplies most of the utilities.
Town utilities: water, sewer, electric and trash are provided and billed by the Town of Middletown.
Town electric: Middletown runs its own municipal electric system and buys power through the Delaware Municipal Electric Corporation, so the electric bill comes from the town rather than Delmarva Power.
Town tax: homes pay a Town of Middletown property tax on top of the county and school tax.
Being in town: downtown Middletown, with Main Street and the Everett Theatre, is a short drive away.
We will confirm the town, county and school figures for any home you are considering before you commit.

Middletown is in southern New Castle County, between the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal and the Kent County line, where Route 1 and Route 301 run north and south.
Health care: ChristianaCare's Middletown emergency department is in town. Christiana Hospital near Newark is about 20 miles north.
Cities: Wilmington is about 24 miles north, and Dover is about 25 miles south.
Beaches: Rehoboth Beach and Lewes are about 70 miles south by Route 1.
Schools: Appoquinimink School District. Confirm school assignments with the district for any specific address.

Spring Arbor has one homeowners association that runs the clubhouse and the common areas.
What the fees cover: the clubhouse, pool and common areas, lawn care and the exterior maintenance of the homes.
Two home types: single-family homes and carriage homes may pay different amounts. Check which figure a listing is showing.
At settlement: a resale certificate from the association shows the current fee and any one-time charge due at closing.
Fees change. We will get the current figures for any home you are considering.

The practical details of owning here.
Utilities: public water and sewer, electric and trash, all from the Town of Middletown.

Pets: pet rules are in the governing documents. Confirm them for the specific home.
Ask us for the association rules before you write an offer.

Read this first: Active Adults Realty is not a tax, legal or financial advisor and nothing below is advice. Confirm every figure with your own tax professional, with New Castle County and with the Town of Middletown before you rely on it.
The state picture: Delaware has no state sales tax, no estate tax and no inheritance tax, and Social Security is not taxed.
The local picture: Spring Arbor is inside the Town of Middletown, so the tax bill has three parts: county, school and town. New Castle County reassessed every property recently, so older tax figures on a listing may not reflect what you will pay.
Help programs: Delaware and New Castle County have tax credit and assistance programs for owners who qualify by age, income or disability.
