About
Chatham is a 235-home, all-detached single-family subdivision in Brandywine Hundred, New Castle County, Delaware, positioned at the intersection of Foulk Road and Silverside Road in the 19803 ZIP code. Magness Construction built the community in multiple models on spacious lots between 1959 and 1962, making it one of the larger purpose-built subdivisions in North Wilmington from that era. The Chatham Civic Association—a formally structured body with four officers, sixteen elected district representatives, and quarterly council meetings—enforces deed restrictions, provides snow plowing for internal streets, and maintains the entrance island on Chatham Drive; annual dues are mandatory and enforceable under the Association’s bylaws.

What Makes This Distinct
Because the Chatham Civic Association enforces recorded deed restrictions and collects mandatory dues, prospective buyers should request and review the current deed restrictions and any open enforcement actions before submitting an offer—standard title search may not surface active Association notices.
