Saint Georges
Colonial homes on Main Street
Although the housing market has a handful of 20th-century dwellings, most properties were constructed after 2000. Those seeking a more vintage vibe can find Colonial homes along Main and Broad Streets dating back to the 1700s. The community contains modest ranches sitting next to split levels and charming Cape Cods. More recent developments continue the Colonial influence with the addition of two-car garages. The Antrim development has some of the largest residential lots in the community, spanning three-quarters of an acre. Highpointe at St. Georges development has tighter lots around a quarter to a third of an acre. Most properties list between $400,000 and $750,000 on average. Homes constructed over the last 20 years are often priced higher. "For a more recent construction, buyers should prepare to spend between $500,000 and $800,000," says Hill.

A top 10 public high school in the state
Colonial School District serves the young residents of St. Georges. Kindergarten to fifth graders may attend either Kathleen H. Wilbur Elementary or Southern Elementary; the schools earned a B and B-minus grades, respectively, from Niche. These students move on to Gunning Bedford Middle, which has a B-minus grade. Older students travel 10 miles north to the district's only high school, William Penn High School, with a B on Niche. Ninth to twelfth graders will have a three-day class rotation consisting of two block scheduling days and one standard scheduling day. According to Niche, the local St. Georges Technical High is a vocational school among the state's top 10 public high schools.

Nearby major routes in the area
"Locals have easy access because of the nearby highways, Delaware Route 1 and U.S. Route 13," Hill says. These thoroughfares lead to Wilmington and the rest of the region. The community is just over 15 miles from the Wilmington Airport. "Our tiny airport has inexpensive flights thanks to the Avelo Airlines. You can take a one-way flight to Florida and back for around $100," Hill says.A 15 minute drive to big centers
Residents must travel about 15 minutes to the nearest grocery store, Safeway, inside the Peoples Plaza shopping center. After picking up groceries, locals can visit McGlynns Pub for a casual experience. Those looking for a meal closer to home stop by St. George Country Store inside a 200-year-old building on Main Street. Contrary to the name, the establishment is a popular restaurant and bar serving Cajun-style comfort food with live music. For more shopping, locals travel to the largest retail hub in the state, Christiana Mall, about 10 miles north.

Trails for equestrians, bikers and pedestrians
Bikers, pedestrians and wanderers can follow the Mike Castle Trail for relaxing views of the Delaware Canal. Lums Pond State Park is about five miles west of the community. The regional green space is a popular spot to enjoy the landscape through fishing and boating. The trail system also attracts equestrians and hikers. Canine residents and their human companions are often seen at the onsite dog park, while athletic locals enjoy the beach volleyball court and 18-hole disc golf course.

Festivals 5 miles out
One of the most notable events during the year is the Saint George Blues Festival. The event is usually held during the summer at Fort DuPont State Park, about five miles east.
Important to Know
According to Hill, St. Georges is seeing an influx of people moving into the area. "The community is near the state line, so people can easily relocate here for the lower property taxes while still having access to nearby friends and family," Hill says.

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.
