Location Anchors
What Makes This Distinct
The Westridge HOA’s long-run appreciation data places the community in the premium price tier and shows outperformance relative to the broader Red Clay Consolidated School District — a pattern that has held across multiple market cycles and is consistent with the subdivision’s combination of large Colonial floor plans, sub-acre wooded lots, and low turnover.

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 plat map, county subdivision record, or developer document was located that specifies the total number of homes in the Westridge subdivision. The count cannot be verified and has been left null.
- Builder — No single named builder has been identified for Westridge across any public records record, county filing, or news source. Multiple construction dates (1992–1996) across documented properties suggest either a single builder over a multi-year buildout or multiple custom/semi-custom builders. Cannot be verified.
- Hoa Fee Current — The only fee figure found in public records history ($200/year) is from a 2015 sale at 827 Westridge Drive. The current annual assessment must be confirmed directly with the HOA or through a resale disclosure package. PENCO Management’s community page for Westridge Estates HOA could not be fully loaded to confirm current fee schedule.
- Hoa Amenities — No HOA website specific to the Westridge (Hockessin DE) community was confirmed operational. The westridgeresident.org domain references a different Westridge community. No pool, clubhouse, or common amenity was documented for this subdivision.
