Linwood-Chichester Township
Call Linwood-Chichester Township home and enjoy the convenience of a close commute. “I’d call this a working-class blue-collar community. And it’s an older community with most of the homes built between the early 1900s and 1930s. A lot of people have lived there all their life,” says Tom Noden, a local Realtor with Tesla Realty Group who grew up in the area and has been in the real estate business for over 25 years. “It’s a mostly residential area but it borders industrial spaces, like the refinery nearby, so there are a lot of jobs in easy reach which makes it a great location for commuting.”
You’ll find brick foursquare, bungalows and ranch-style homes in this neighborhood that range in price from $125,000 to $250,000. Square footage can be anywhere from 720 to 1,400 square feet. “Affordable housing sells really well in this area because one of the big problems we have now is a shortage of inventory,” Noden says. “Builders don’t build starter homes anymore, and we’ve got starter homes around here, so that affordable housing goes quickly. You’ll also find pockets of rentals and pockets of townhouse-style rowhomes.” Lots are typically smaller, between 1,600 and 6,000 square feet, encouraging neighbors to get to know one another. Mature trees provide shade to tidy green lawns while homes have large windows to let in the morning light.
Students in this neighborhood can attend Linwood Elementary School, which received a C rating from Niche and serves about 250 students with a student-teacher ratio of 9 to 1. Chichester Middle School received a C rating from Niche and offers an impressive collection of athletic programs like cross country, football and volleyball. Chichester Senior High School received a C-plus rating from Niche and encourages its students to participate in the AP program to earn college credit.
Get some fresh air at Market Square Memorial Park, which sits on the Delaware Riverfront and gives visitors the chance to enjoy a scenic walk along the water, watching the ships while their little ones explore the playground. Rocco Gaspari Park is closer and has similar amenities, with a paved walking trail and playground. If you’re feeling competitive, challenge your friends to a game of tennis on the park’s courts.
Once you’ve worked up an appetite, visit Linwood Pizza for a perfectly made slice paired with salads, wraps and sandwiches. They pride themselves on producing authentic Italian cuisine with only the freshest ingredients. Seafood connection is the place to be for hot seafood dishes like steamed platters with crab, shrimp and more. Peruse their market for a salty catch to take home for dinner. If you’re craving homestyle dishes and big portions, head to Sungate Diner. Fill up on one of their classic plates like corned beef sandwiches and pork chops with a side of French onion soup. Locals can grab their groceries from the Produce Junction, which has been family-owned since 1977 and has everything from fruits to veggies to flowers.
“We’re also right off 95 and close to Delaware so shopping and other amenities aren’t far away,” Noden says. “It’s really not a bad area and I’d say a nice community overall.”

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
