Deptford has suburban subdivisions near shopping and major highways

Incorporated in 1695, Deptford is a deep-rooted community named after a small town in Kent, England. The community comprises several subdivisions with established housing, but the draw is in its convenient location, affording proximity to bustling retail centers and major highways. Deptford is home to a collection of smaller suburban communities, each with its own unique history and housing stock. Community names include Jericho, Blackwood Terrace, Oak Valley and Almonesson. While a few subdivisions have homes from the 1950s through the '70s, others have houses built in the early 21st century. You'll commonly find contemporary colonials with around 2,000 square feet and at least three bedrooms. Other common styles include traditional ranch-style homes, four squares and modern townhomes. Housing prices vary, but you'll mostly find homes priced between $300,000 and $500,000. Deptford streetscapes are varied. Some streets are four-lane commuter strips lined with stores and various businesses, while community subdivisions have low-speed limits, sidewalks and mature trees.
