Landenberg offers rural living in the Philly metro
With Maryland to the south and Delaware to the east, Landenberg sits in the southeast corner of Pennsylvania with hundreds of acres of preserves. “It’s very rural, which seems to be a big draw. There’s a lot of open space that can’t be built on,” says Michele Endrich, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway Homeservices, who lives in Landenberg and has been selling homes there since 1999. Preserves are open to the public for hiking, and the rural landscape has made way for many farms and vineyards. With Wilmington, Delaware, and Philadelphia within driving distance, locals can work in the city, while retreating to a more scenic and laid-back community.

HOAs and upscale homes on acres of land
Single-family homes are predominant throughout Landenberg. The town’s mature woodlands also provide natural privacy for homeowners. “People are looking for more space here,” says Endrich. “Not all homes, but most have larger lots of about an acre or more.” The median sale price is $622,000. Housing options range from small ranch-style homes to large, upscale houses with New Traditional designs. Some houses sit on approximately half-acre lots in HOA developments, while others have several acres of land.
The classic ranch home is a very popular style and is seen on many streets throughout Landenberg.
Landenberg was once made up of primarily smaller, ranch homes but is quickly becoming occupied by larger, new traditional homes.

Trails at White Clay Creek Preserve and other protected lands
White Clay Creek Preserve features densely wooded nature trails along its namesake creek. They lead to White Clay Creek State Park in Delaware and the Tri-State Mason-Dixon line where Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland meet. The trail can also be taken to the Arc Corner Monument, which marks the corner of Delaware’s northern boundary, shaped like an arc, known as the Twelve-Mile Circle. Big Elk Creek State Park has miles of trails through woods and meadows, and Natural Lands’ Peacedale Preserve has a similar layout. New Garden Park offers 60 acres of recreational space. It features a gazebo next to a playground and two ball fields used by KAU Little League. A trail crosses a creek that leads to New Garden Township Town Hall and its surrounding soccer fields, managed by the White Clay Soccer Club.
