About
Blue Rock Manor is a detached single-family subdivision in Brandywine Hundred, New Castle County, Delaware, carrying a Wilmington 19803 mailing address. The overwhelming majority of its homes—NeighborhoodScout data puts the figure at approximately 81.7 percent—were built between 1940 and 1969, making it one of northern Delaware’s more internally consistent mid-century streetscapes. The subdivision sits adjacent to Rock Manor Golf Course, a public 18-hole layout at 1319 Carruthers Lane that opened in 1921 and was redesigned to 6,405 yards, providing a defined open-space edge to the community. Assigned schools are Lombardy Elementary (K–5, rated 7/10 by GreatSchools, located at 412 Foulk Road), Springer Middle School, and Brandywine High School—all within the Brandywine School District.

School boundary lines can change; buyers should confirm current assignments directly with the Brandywine School District before closing.
Is there a homeowners association in Blue Rock Manor?

The absence of an HOA means there are no mandatory dues, shared amenity fees, or deed restriction enforcement by a community board—but it also means no collective mechanism for neighborhood appearance standards or common-area maintenance. Buyers should conduct a title and deed search to confirm this status.
What types of homes are found in Blue Rock Manor and when were they built?

Recurring architectural forms include brick and stone ranches, Cape Cods, and split-level designs.

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 Blue Rock Manor has been found in any public source. The subdivision is named but its precise plat boundaries and lot tally are not documented in accessible records.
- Builder — No single builder has been identified. The mid-century housing stock in Blue Rock Manor appears to represent organic, incremental development across multiple builders over two or more decades—consistent with many Brandywine Hundred neighborhoods of the era.
- Hoa Name — No HOA name or governing documents found in public records, New Castle County Community Association Portal, or HOA directories. The absence is consistent with public sales data but has not been verified via a formal deed/title search.
- Lot Character Text — Precise Lot Sizes — Precise lot size ranges for the subdivision as a whole have not been verified. Ownerly data for Rock Manor Avenue (an adjacent but distinct street) shows an average of ~31,090 sq ft, but that street is not confirmed to be within the Blue Rock Manor plat.
- Cross Border Note — Not applicable — Blue Rock Manor is fully within New Castle County, Delaware.
