A large residential neighborhood outside of New Castle, DE

The original portion of the neighborhood, built during the post war boom, is located on the streets closer to Route 13. In the late 80s, the neighborhood was expanded east to Route 9 with new single family homes.

A portion of this neighborhood also received several scares in its history. In 1980, a nearby chemical plant (wikimapia.org/#lat=39.6448829&lon=-75.6171155&z=13&l=0... exploded causing the area to be evacuated. Also in the early 80s, the Army Creek area was discovered to be the 9th worst toxic waste dump in the US (wikimapia.org/#lat=39.6448829&lon=-75.6171155&z=13&l=0... causing a cancer scare for several home owners nearby.
