Pike Creek Real Estate & Homes for Sale in Delaware

Pike Creek is an upscale, residential community of about 20,000 people located in New Castle County about 30 minutes from the city of Wilmington and adjacent to Hockessin. Pike Creek features a central location, quiet lifestyle, and great housing options, including detached, single-family homes, modern townhouses, condominiums and apartments. The community was established in the 1960s with the development of subdivisions near the intersection of New Linden Hill and Polly Drummond Roads.
Since then, Pike Creek has become an increasingly popular choice for home seekers.

As the population has grown, the community has remained almost exclusively residential. A few office parks and retail shopping centers provide the daily necessities, while larger shopping areas and industrial spaces are located in neighboring cities. While the commercial space with Pike Creek is limited, the community's central location allows for a relatively easy drive to work. The average commuting time for Pike Creek residents is about 27 minutes.

Public schooling is provided by the Red Clay Consolidated School District, which also serves the communities of Wilmington, Hockessin and Newark. Pike Creek's parks, trails, fitness and swimming clubs, and bowling centers serve as the venues for in-town recreation.
