About
Talleybrook is a detached single-family subdivision in Brandywine Hundred, New Castle County, Delaware, situated off Shipley Road in the 19810 zip code. Homes were constructed primarily from the late 1960s through the mid-1970s — tax records confirm builds as early as 1967 and as late as 1976 — and the dominant style is the two-story center-hall colonial, typically on quarter-acre lots running approximately 2,100 to 2,350 square feet. The subdivision is organized under the Talleybrook Civic Association, which is registered in Wilmington, DE 19810, and at least one recorded public records transaction disclosed a modest HOA fee covering common area maintenance. Students are assigned to Hanby Elementary School, Springer Middle School, and Concord High School within the Brandywine School District.

What Makes This Distinct
The Cyr Team’s 33-year appreciation index places Talleybrook as an underperformer relative to the broader Brandywine School District — a gap buyers should weigh against the mid-range price tier, and sellers should account for when setting timeline expectations. The subdivision’s thin transaction volume in the index (two sales in 2025) means any single sale can swing reported averages materially.
For Buyers & Sellers
If You’re Buying
$662k median price point. move fast – homes go quickly. limited inventory – be patient.
If You’re Selling
Sellers gained $17k on average. trailing the district by 90%. homes selling quickly (quickly). median sale price $662k.
Worth Asking
Have you considered what it means for a community’s long-run appreciation to trail its school district by a wide margin, even while individual homes sell quickly — and whether that pattern reflects constrained supply, limited lot variation, or something structural about the price ceiling here?
Common Questions
What school does Talleybrook feed into for elementary school?
Properties in Talleybrook are assigned to Hanby Elementary School (2523 Berwyn Road, Wilmington, DE 19810), part of the Brandywine School District. Hanby serves grades K–5 and is ranked 14th out of 107 Delaware elementary schools by SchoolDigger for the 2024–2025 school year. Middle school is Springer Middle School and high school is Concord High School. School boundary assignments can change; buyers should verify directly with the Brandywine School District before closing.
Is there a homeowners association in Talleybrook, and what does it cover?
Yes. Talleybrook is organized under the Talleybrook Civic Association, which is registered at the neighborhood’s Wilmington, DE 19810 address on NeighborhoodLink. At least one Bright public records transaction record for a Talleybrook address disclosed a nominal HOA fee covering common area maintenance. The precise current fee amount, dues structure, and the full scope of covered services should be confirmed in seller disclosures and the association’s governing documents, which Delaware law requires to be recorded with the county recorder’s office.
What are the typical home sizes and lot sizes in Talleybrook?
Verified public records and county tax records for multiple Talleybrook addresses show interior living space ranging from approximately 2,100 to 2,350 square feet, with four-bedroom, 2.5-bath center-hall colonials being the most commonly transacted floor plan. Lot sizes for verified addresses run between 0.25 and 0.26 acres. Individual homes will vary — buyers should pull the specific property’s assessor record and any recorded survey before making a final decision.
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 home count for Talleybrook found in any named public source. Left null to avoid fabrication.
- Builder — No single builder identified across verified listing records. Multiple homes appear organically developed or built by different contractors across the late 1960s–mid 1970s era. Left null.
- Hoa Name / Hoa Dues — Talleybrook Civic Association is confirmed by NeighborhoodLink. One Redfin Bright public records record disclosed a $35 HOA fee, but it is unclear if this is annual or monthly, and whether it is current. Dues amount should be verified via seller disclosure or association records before publishing as a specific figure.
- Community Type (Mls Flag) — Public records structural data flags community type as ‘Townhome,’ but every verifiable listing found for Talleybrook addresses describes detached single-family colonial homes, not townhomes. This appears to be a data error in the public records community-type field. The legacy hint (‘Single-family homes’) and all verified listings align on detached single-family. Flagged for Cyr Team review before publishing.
- Interior Sqft Range Text — Range of 2,100–2,350 sq ft derived from three verified public records/tax records for specific addresses. Wider variation may exist across the full subdivision. Cyr Team should confirm against broader public records pull.
- Cross Border Note — No evidence of cross-border complexity found. Talleybrook sits entirely within Brandywine Hundred, New Castle County, DE.
School District
