Christiana Hundred

County: New Castle

Bounded by Brandywine River to the east and following the state’s northwestern border, this area draws in a number of small suburban communities like Greenville, Centreville, and Hockessin.  Just minutes from Interstate 95 and equally accessible to the attractions just across the state line in Pennsylvania, the region offers attractive single-family homes in all architectural styles and price ranges.  Townhouses and cluster developments contrast with developments that offer lots up to two acres.  Wilmington’s urban amenities and advantages are no more than 15 to 30 minutes away, yet the region claims many charming small-town commercial districts filled with wonderful stores, restaurants, antique dealers, and services.  Greenville is particularly renowned for its collection of “label conscious” shops and boutiques.  Brandywine State Park and Bellevue State Park provided expanded recreational opportunities, while the attractions of Chadds Ford and Kennett Square wait just across the Pennsylvania state line.
