Claymont Houses for Sale

Claymont is a neighborhood undergoing significant transformation, blending its historic roots with modern developments. The heart of the area is Philadelphia Pike, known locally as "Philly Pike," which is lined with various businesses, grocery stores, and dining options, including the long-standing Claymont Steak Shop and NY Gyro Grill. The Claymont Renaissance Development Corporation (CRDC) is actively working to enhance the area's appeal, fostering economic growth and maintaining specific design standards for new developments. Residents enjoy local events such as the annual Claymont Christmas Parade and the unique blessing of the Christmas Weed. The new Claymont Public Library, a community hub, offers a range of events and sits adjacent to Woods Haven Kruse Park, which features trails, pavilions, and a playground. The neighborhood is also near the Northern Delaware Greenway Trail, a 10-mile network of paved pathways connecting seven parks, providing ample things to do for outdoor activities. Claymont's housing includes townhouses, brick ramblers, split levels, and larger four-square Colonials, with the planned community of Darley Green offering townhouses connected by sidewalks and green spaces. Children attend highly rated schools such as Claymont Elementary School, Mount Pleasant High School, and Archmere Academy. Despite limited walkability outside Darley Green, Claymont's central location offers easy access to Wilmington, eight miles away, and Philadelphia, 22 miles away, via major highways and the new Claymont Regional Transportation Center. The neighborhood is safer than the national average, adding to its appeal. Ongoing construction projects, including new industrial facilities and a planned riverfront park, contribute to occasional noise and traffic but promise continued growth and development.
