Brandywine’s housing mix reflects decades of development
Located on the northern edge of the Delaware state line is the unincorporated Brandywine. "The neighborhood is locally known as Brandywine Hundred. The area was settled in the 1600s but wasn't built up until the 1950s," says Monica Hill, a Realtor with RE/MAX Associates-Wilmington. "The community has larger homes as well as brick constructions. Here, the properties look like salt and pepper sets." This means one street may have ranch styles while the next maintains a similar uniform aesthetic.
Colonial revival homes can be found throughout Brandywine and surrounding neighborhoods.
