About
Sherwood Park II is a detached single-family subdivision in the 19808 ZIP code of Wilmington, New Castle County, Delaware, developed by builder Frank Robino with construction permits issued in 1959 for homes priced at approximately $11,000 each. Homes follow a split-level plan with covered front porches, original hardwood floors, entry-level dens, and three-to-four-bedroom upper levels — a format Robino used across multiple southwest Wilmington subdivisions in that period. The community sits within the Red Clay Consolidated School District and is bordered by McKennans Church Road and Duncan Road, placing it within walking distance of the 400-acre Delcastle Recreational Park, which includes an 18-hole golf course, tennis courts, baseball and soccer fields, a street hockey rink, and a 1.7-mile paved trail.
Specifications
Home Stock
Split-level detached single-family homes built by Frank Robino in 1959. Characteristic features documented in Bright public records include covered front porches, original hardwood floors (sometimes carpeted over), multi-level floor plans with a den at entry grade, living and dining rooms on the next level, three to four bedrooms on the upper level, and attached garages. Bedroom counts of three to four are the predominant configuration across recorded sales.
Location & Access
McKennans Church Road and Pecksniff Road form key interior arteries. Duncan Road and Limestone Road (DE-7) provide access to the broader 19808 area. Delcastle Recreational Park at 2920 Duncan Road shares the same ZIP code and is directly accessible from these corridors.
Location Anchors
What Makes This Distinct
The subdivision was platted and built in a single construction cycle (1959) under one developer, which means the housing stock is architecturally consistent but also uniformly at the same age-related capital expenditure horizon — buyers should budget for roof, HVAC, and systems updates that tend to cluster when a neighborhood ages as a cohort.

Worth Asking
Have you considered what it means to buy into a subdivision where every home was built in the same year by the same builder — specifically, whether the neighbors are all facing the same deferred-maintenance windows at the same time, and how that affects resale competition when you’re ready to sell?
Common Questions
Who built Sherwood Park II and when was it developed?
Sherwood Park II was developed by Frank Robino, a prominent Wilmington-area residential builder. A June 1959 building permit issued by New Castle County authorized Robino to construct 16 homes in ‘Sherwood Park, section two’ at approximately $11,000 per unit. Multiple Bright public records for homes on Pecksniff Road and surrounding streets confirm the 1959 build year and identify the homes as ‘Robino split levels.’
What school district serves Sherwood Park II, and which school is closest?
Sherwood Park II falls within the Red Clay Consolidated School District, the largest public school district in Delaware. Brandywine Springs School — a K–8 public school located at 2916 Duncan Road in the same 19808 ZIP code — is the nearest Red Clay school. Buyers should verify individual address assignments directly through the Red Clay school locator at redclayschools.com, as boundary lines within a district can shift.
Is there a homeowners association (HOA) in Sherwood Park II?
Public records for recent sales in Sherwood Park II show no active HOA. Several HOA aggregator websites list a ‘Sherwood Park II HOA’ entry, but those pages carry no verified dues amount, management company name, or governing documents — they appear to be placeholder listings. Buyers should request a resale certificate or seller disclosure at time of contract to confirm whether any community association currently exists and whether any assessments are outstanding.
Items to Verify with Your Agent
A few specifics on this page are sourced from secondary aggregators or older filings. Confirm before relying:
- Approx Homes — No verified total home count for Sherwood Park II found in assessor data, public records aggregates, or publicly accessible plat records. The 1959 permit covered 16 units in a single batch, but additional permits may have been issued in phases; the loftteamde.com sold-listing page references 94 historical transactions, which may hint at community size but cannot be used as a home count.
- Hoa Name — Public sales data shows no active HOA. Aggregator sites (hoa-resource.com, hoa-community.com) list a ‘Sherwood Park II HOA’ but provide zero verified data (no dues, no management company, no CC&Rs). These sites are known to auto-generate placeholder pages. No formal HOA registration was found in Delaware state records via web search. Left null pending title-company or seller-disclosure confirmation.
- Lot Character Text — Precise Lot Dimensions — Lot sizes are not uniformly published across the sources reviewed. The byowner.com listing for 2627 Pecksniff references an 8,276 sq ft lot, but this is a single-property data point and cannot be generalized to the full subdivision without assessor parcel data.
- Faq 2 A — Elementary School Boundary Confirmation — Brandywine Springs School is the nearest Red Clay K–8 in the same ZIP, but the specific attendance boundary for Sherwood Park II addresses was not confirmed via the Red Clay school locator tool (which requires address input). The school boundary should be verified before publishing.
