This compact 8-acre community in Kent County offers a unique blend of urban convenience and spacious living, with generous lot sizes averaging three-quarters of an acre. The location provides exceptional access to dining and daily needs, with 44 restaurants within walking distance and grocery stores just minutes away. Coffee lovers will appreciate having a café practically at their doorstep.

The area excels in transit connectivity while maintaining a suburban feel that appeals to both homeowners and renters.
