Steeple Glenn

Steeple Glenn has two kinds of homes, and both are condominiums you own under a condominium regime.
Townhome-style condos: built from about 2015, two or three bedrooms, roughly 1,050 to 1,650 square feet. Many have first-floor living with a loft above, and all have an attached garage.
Elevator condominiums: the final phase at 201 Colonial Downs Court: two and three bedroom single-level homes, about 1,475 square feet for a three bedroom, with elevator access and a detached garage.
New and resale: the townhome-style homes sell as resales, and the final phase is being sold new.
Square footage varies by home. The exact size of any home is on its listing, and we will pull it for you.

The amenities are centered on the clubhouse.
The clubhouse: a gathering room with a full kitchen, a fitness room and an outdoor patio. Rooms can be reserved for events.
Outdoors: sidewalks and walking paths through the community.
What it does not have: there is no golf course and no community pool.

Every home in Steeple Glenn, including the townhome-style homes, is a condominium unit.
What that means: you own your home, and the association owns and maintains the grounds and the outside of the buildings.
Your insurance: a condo owner insures the inside of the home, and the association insures the building. Your agent and insurer should read the master policy.
At settlement: the buyer pays a one-time capital contribution to the association, shown on the resale certificate.
We will get the resale certificate before you commit, so you see every fee up front.

Steeple Glenn has a Newark mailing address and sits in the Route 40 corridor between Glasgow and Bear.
Shopping and dining: the Route 40 corridor has groceries, pharmacies and restaurants close by, and Christiana Mall is a short drive.
Health care: ChristianaCare's Christiana Hospital is about five miles north.
Getting anywhere: Route 40, Route 1 and I-95 connect to Wilmington, the Brandywine Valley and Philadelphia International Airport.
Schools: Christina School District. Confirm school assignments with the district for any specific address.

The condominium association fee is billed monthly.
What it covers: lawn care and mulching, snow removal, trash, common area maintenance, the exterior of the buildings and the clubhouse.
Recent figures: 2026 listings showed monthly fees of roughly $277 to $323, depending on the home.
At settlement: a one-time capital contribution to the association.
Fees change. We will get the current figures for any home you are considering.

The practical details of owning here.

Garage: every home has a garage, attached on the townhome-style homes and detached on the elevator condominiums.
Pets: small domestic pets are allowed under the condominium rules, leashed outdoors.
Ask us for the condominium 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 and with New Castle County 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: Steeple Glenn is outside the City of Newark limits, so the property tax bill is county and school tax with no city tax on top. New Castle County reassessed every property recently, so older tax figures on a listing may not reflect what you will pay.
