About
Arundel is a single-family detached subdivision in the Pike Creek Valley area of New Castle County, Delaware, with homes primarily constructed during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The neighborhood is accessed via Arundel Drive off Limestone Road (DE Route 7), with interior streets including Elderon Drive and Mattahoon Road. Residents have access to the Arundel Swim Pool Club, a membership pool located at 1228 Elderon Drive within the subdivision, and the nearby Arundel Recreation Center. The subdivision falls within the Red Clay Consolidated School District, with Heritage Elementary School, Skyline Middle School, and Thomas McKean High School serving the attendance zone.
Specifications
Home Stock
The subdivision contains a mix of detached colonial two-stories, brick split-levels, and ranch-style homes, the majority built in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Brick exteriors and vinyl siding are both common. Most homes include attached garages, full or partial basements, and natural gas heat.
Location & Access
The primary access point to Arundel is Arundel Drive, which connects directly to DE Route 7 (Limestone Road) at a signalized intersection. Paper Mill Road (DE Route 72) is the secondary connector to the west. Milltown Road and McKennans Church Road provide additional regional access.
Location Anchors
What Makes This Distinct
One public records listing for 1219 Elderon Drive shows an HOA fee of $8 per month, while a separate listing for 1308 Arundel Drive and a Long & Foster listing for 1222 Arundel Drive both show an annual HOA fee of $100 — suggesting the HOA is nominal in cost and likely covers common-area maintenance and snow removal rather than amenity operations. Buyers should confirm current fee structure and what is specifically included during due diligence.

Worth Asking
Have you considered that the Arundel Swim Pool Club at 1228 Elderon Drive operates as a separate membership organization from the subdivision HOA — meaning pool access may require a separate annual membership fee that is not reflected in the HOA dues disclosed at settlement?
Common Questions
What school district serves Arundel in Wilmington, DE 19808?
Arundel is served by the Red Clay Consolidated School District. The assigned elementary school is Heritage Elementary (2815 Highlands Lane), the middle school is Skyline Middle School (2900 Skyline Drive), and the high school is Thomas McKean High School (301 McKennans Church Road). School boundary assignments can change; buyers should verify directly with Red Clay Consolidated at the time of purchase.
What types of homes are found in Arundel, and when were they built?
Arundel contains detached single-family homes built primarily in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Styles include two-story colonials, brick split-levels, and ranch-style homes. Finished living areas recorded in public sales data range from approximately 1,750 to 2,875 square feet. Lots typically run from about 9,100 to 13,100 square feet. No new construction has been documented within the subdivision’s interior streets.
Does Arundel have a homeowners association, and what does it cover?
Yes, Arundel has an HOA. Public records show an annual fee of $100 on multiple properties, with one listing describing fee coverage as common area maintenance and snow removal. The Arundel Swim Pool Club at 1228 Elderon Drive is a separately operated membership pool and is not the same entity as the HOA.

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 authoritative source documents a total home count for the Arundel subdivision. The Xome street-address list suggests dozens of homes on Arundel Dr alone, but a full subdivision count was not found. Left null per instructions.
- Builder — One Long & Foster listing references a ‘Blair Model home,’ suggesting a production builder offered model lines, but no builder name has been verified from a named source. Left null.
- Hoa Name — The HOA is referred to generically as ‘Arundel HOA’ across listing aggregator sites (hoa-community.com, hoa-resource.com) but no official legal HOA name (e.g., ‘Arundel Homeowners Association, Inc.’) was confirmed from a corporate registration or official document. The name used here is the de facto label from public records.
- Hoa Fee Frequency — Most public records show $100 annually; one Movoto record shows $8/month ($96/year), which may reflect a data normalization error. Recommend confirming the exact fee and billing period from the HOA disclosure at time of purchase.
- Shared Name Sibling — The Arundel Apartments rental complex at 3009 Crossfork Dr (19808) shares the Arundel name and ZIP code and dominates many search results, creating risk of consumer confusion. The apartment complex is a distinct entity from the single-family subdivision.
