Enjoy a peaceful and quiet lifestyle in St. Georges, a small community along the Delaware Canal.
A slow-paced suburb with historic influence
Crossing over the Delaware Canal on the Senator William V. Roth Jr. Bridge leads to Saint Georges, an incorporated community in New Castle County. "This is an older neighborhood with newer construction. The area was built back in the 1700s, but what attracts people today is the recent developments," explains Monica Hill, a local Realtor with RE/MAX Associates-Wilmington. "If you want elbow room, a yard and a home under 10 years old, this is the place for you."
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.

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.
