About
Limestone Hills West is the western cluster (Cluster D) of the Limestone Hills planned community — a development of more than 1,700 homes in the Pike Creek Valley of New Castle County, Delaware. Built primarily between 1992 and 1996, the subdivision consists of multi-level townhomes in both interior-row and end-of-row configurations, entered via Limestone Road/DE-7N directly across from the Shops at Limestone Hills. All owners automatically become members of the Limestone Hills Maintenance Corporation (LHMC), which administers an annual assessment, enforces architectural review of exterior changes, and maintains community walkways and over 300 acres of private open space shared across all five Limestone Hills clusters.
Specifications
Home Stock
Multi-level townhomes — both interior-row and end-of-row configurations — constructed primarily between 1992 and 1996 with vinyl siding, stone accents, and aluminum siding exteriors. Typical features released for this community include gas fireplaces, full or walk-out finished basements, decks or patios, attached garages, and open floor plans with two to three upper-level bedrooms. Some end units include bay windows and additional side light exposure.
Location & Access
Primary access via Limestone Road (DE-7N/Route 7). Internal streets are state-owned (Delaware DOT), not privately maintained by LHMC. The Shops at Limestone Hills retail center sits directly across Limestone Road from the West cluster entrance.
Location Anchors
What Makes This Distinct
Limestone Hills West is governed exclusively by the Limestone Hills Maintenance Corporation — not a separate subdivision HOA — meaning buyers acquire both individual unit ownership and mandatory LHMC membership with its associated assessments, architectural controls, and resale disclosure requirements administered through Kelly Management Services.

Worth Asking
Have you considered what it means that the streets inside Limestone Hills West are owned by the State of Delaware rather than by LHMC — specifically, who bears responsibility for street-level enforcement, and how that affects what the HOA can and cannot control for parking and access near your unit?
Common Questions
What does the Limestone Hills Maintenance Corporation actually cover for West cluster owners?
LHMC manages the community walkways, trash receptacles throughout common areas, over 300 acres of private open space shared across all five Limestone Hills clusters, and an Architectural Review Committee that must approve any exterior change to your home or lot. Owners pay an annual assessment and must order a resale certificate through HomeWiseDocs at settlement. LHMC does not maintain street lights (those are Delmarva Power’s responsibility) and does not maintain the public streets, which are owned by the State of Delaware.
Which schools serve Limestone Hills West, and how are they rated?
Limestone Hills West is in the Red Clay Consolidated School District. The most commonly assigned elementary school is Linden Hill Elementary, located at 3415 Skyline Drive in Wilmington (ZIP 19808). Linden Hill is a National Blue Ribbon School serving grades K–5, holds a Gifted & Talented program, and ranks among the top public elementary schools in Delaware on Niche. School boundary assignments can change; buyers should confirm current assignments directly with Red Clay Consolidated School District before making any purchase decision.
Are all homes in Limestone Hills West townhomes, and is there any age restriction?
Yes — Limestone Hills West is a townhome community with no 55+ or age-restricted status. Public records show a mix of interior-row and end-of-row units, all multi-level, with finished square footage typically ranging from roughly 1,825 to 2,700 sq ft depending on configuration. The broader Limestone Hills planned community also includes single-family homes and condominiums in other clusters, but the West cluster is townhome-only based on recorded sales data.
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 unit count for the West cluster specifically. The broader Limestone Hills planned community has over 1,700 homes across five clusters, but no public source breaks out the West cluster count independently.
- Builder — No single builder identified for Limestone Hills West. The 1992–1996 construction window spans multiple phases; no named builder appears in available public records or LHMC documents for the West cluster specifically.
- Hoa Fee Amount — LHMC annual assessment amount is not published on limestonehills.com or any other publicly accessible source. Buyers should request current fee disclosure via HomeWiseDocs at settlement.
- Specific Cluster D Amenities — LHMC states each cluster has ‘different recreational facilities,’ but the West cluster page (limestonehills.com/about_limestone_hills_/west/) lists only the entrance location without enumerating specific amenities such as playgrounds or sports courts for Cluster D.
