Greenwood offers rustic Delaware living just east of Maryland
Just east of Maryland, Greenwood is a rural Delaware community where buyers move to find secluded acreage properties. Greenwood is all about rustic living, where residents unwind with outdoor activities like fishing, shooting and riding dirt bikes. Its proximity to larger towns like Milford provides access to amenities like additional shopping and dining, and growth in these neighboring towns has caused some growth in Greenwood. “Greenwood is kind of overlooked because of its size, but it’s a really nice community,” says Dustin Parker, resident and Realtor with The Parker Group. “I can imagine that over the next 10 years, more people will see this, and we’ll have some more growth. We really like living here.”
Greenwood still has plenty of space to grow.
Folks in Milford know that River Lights is the place to go for a good breakfast.

New construction and acreage properties
Most listings in Greenwood are newly constructed or to-be-built single-family homes, typically designed in new traditional styles. The neighborhood also has older ranch-style, bi-level and Cape Cod homes, as well as land listings for those looking to build. Buyers in Greenwood can often find acreage properties, attracting those who value privacy and building opportunities. “I live on 24 acres in the woods,” Parker says. “We built a house, and it’s nice and quiet with plenty of peace and privacy.” The neighborhood’s newer homes range in price from around $300,000 to $700,000, while pre-2000 properties typically cost between $100,000 and $400,000. Living on the Delaware side of the Maryland border, to the west of Greenwood, also attracts buyers: “Greenwood borders the state of Maryland, and our property taxes and cost of living are cheaper than Maryland,” Parker says. “Buyers will cross the line just to get into Delaware.”
New construction for homes in Greenwood means you can create your own landscaping design.
