About
Green Acres is a 376-home detached single-family subdivision in Brandywine Hundred, New Castle County, Delaware, developed starting in 1955 by Franklin Builders on land that was intentionally left partially wooded — an approach that distinguished it from the clear-cut subdivisions typical of that era. The 13 internal streets are named alphabetically after American colleges, with Silverside Road providing the two community entrances and I-95 forming the southeastern edge. Residents are served by an active Architectural Review Committee operating under deed restrictions last updated in May 2000, which requires pre-approval for all exterior construction and renovations in order to maintain conformity with the community’s external design standards.

What Makes This Distinct
Green Acres outperformed its Brandywine School District peer set by 13.6 percentage points on the Cyr Team’s appreciation index, classified as Above Average within the Mid-Range price tier — a spread consistent with the subdivision’s documented scarcity (low activity tier) and its verified 376-home boundary, which caps supply.
