About
Meadowood is a detached single-family subdivision in Newark, Delaware (New Castle County, ZIP 19711) developed primarily around 1960, placing it in the first decade of post-WWII suburban expansion along Kirkwood Highway (SR 2). The subdivision’s entrance at Meadowood Drive is marked by a pedestrian bridge over SR 2 erected in 1965, and the community sits roughly equidistant between the University of Delaware campus and Christiana Hospital, with I-95 reachable via Harmony Road approximately 1.44 miles to the south. Homes are predominantly split-level, bi-level, and ranch configurations on lots of approximately 7,405 sq ft, ranging from roughly 1,235 to 2,258 finished square feet above grade, with most carrying 3–5 bedrooms. The subdivision is governed by the Meadowood Home Owners Association, which enforces recorded covenants and operates an Architectural Review Committee that reviews all exterior construction, remodels, and landscaping changes.

What Makes This Distinct
Because Meadowood sits within the Red Clay Consolidated School District and Forest Oak Elementary School is physically located at 55 South Meadowood Drive — on the subdivision’s own street — school-boundary assignments for the subdivision warrant direct verification with Red Clay before purchase, as Delaware’s school-choice framework means the nearest school is not always the assigned school.
