Westminster
Suburban Neighborhood in Wilmington, Delaware
New Castle County 19805, 19807, 19808
Westminster is a convenient suburb located near Wilmington, Delaware, with one foot in the past and another moving toward the future. Locals can reach shopping, dining, I-95, and north Wilmington within a few miles on the main thoroughfare, Centerville Road. "Thanks to a developing reputation as the place to be, it's seen a renaissance in the last five or 10 years, and homes have jumped in price," says Realtor at RE/MAX Elite Karen Ventresca. "It's a wildly popular community." The region also holds historical significance and is dotted with a few landmarks.
Most Westminster houses were built in the 1960s to 1970s, however potential buyers can also find homes built after the 2000s. Large trees and neatly manicured lawns surround brick colonials, ranches, split-levels and contemporary houses. Many of these styles are found inside the three Brookmeade developments near the center of the community. On average, residences in the area are valued from $300,000 to $600,000. Properties in Greenville Overlook and north of Lancaster Pike enter the market for around $800,000 to over $1 million. Local residents can look forward to new luxury townhouses and flats within the mixed-use development of Barley Mill. This development offers convenient access to retail stores and business parks.
Westminster residents are served by the Red Clay Consolidated School District, rated No. 3 in the state, according to Niche. Young students may attend Marbook Elementary School, which offers a Spanish-language immersion program and holds a B-plus on Niche. Alexis I. du Pont Middle has a C-plus on Niche and opens its doors to sixth to eighth graders. These pupils may move on to Alexis I. du Pont High, which earned a B rating and is considered among the top 30 high schools in the state. The community is also home to Gateway Charter School, which offers a nontraditional academic environment focused on arts-based learning for students in third to eighth grade. Parents may also choose the local private option, Tatnall School, a college prep school for all grade levels.
Athletes have many options for play at Greenbank Park. The tennis, pickleball and handball courts are popular among solo and paired players. Residents also cheer on Little League games from the stands of the ball diamonds. The park contains the George White Commemorative Historic Marker and the remnants of a red-brick prison tower dating back over a century. Brandywine Springs Park has ball fields, basketball courts, playgrounds and trails. Locals may also find a serene moment near the creeks and woodlands. The grounds were once home to an amusement park, and the details are woven throughout the park on markers with photos connecting the park's past to the present. Passing through the greenspace is the scenic Western Railroads track that tours the surrounding historic tri-state area.
In addition to the area's historical landmarks are Greenbank Mills and Philips Farms. The functional farm hosts tours and events throughout the year. Among the most frequented are the markets, Folklore Friday, and the annual Shearing Day, demonstrating hand-processing wool from the livestock.
Wilmington is less than 10 miles away, and downtown Philadelphia is about 40 miles away. Residents can also take the DART bus, which has routes along Centerville and Lancaster Pike for commuting around the area. Westminster is an increasingly desirable community that attracts locals for its accessibility, history and developments.
