The site is still under construction, with earth being moved and the skeletons of housing rising above the flatlands. Typical of these is Traditions at Whitehall, located between the canal and where Route 301 sweeps across from Route 1 before turning south. Middletown’s attractions are obvious – it’s in the country, prices are more affordable than elsewhere in the state and it’s still only 30 minutes from Interstate 95 and Delaware’s largest hospital. Starting prices per single or duplex range between $370,000 and $737,000 per unit. |DBT PHOTO BY ERIC CROSSANįive of these communities – a third of all – are under construction in the Middletown area, which has emerged as Delaware’s 55-plus epicenter. Route 301, is a growing 55-plus community that bills itself as a town unto itself, with a new medical office and firework shows on Fourth of July. Traditions at Whitehall, located between the C&D Canal and U.S. “There are approximately 15 55-plus communities now being built in Delaware,” said Fox & Roachreal estate agent and vice president, Jerry Strusowki, who said that demand is exceeding supply and that he sends out letters to established residents seeing if they are interested in selling to one of his clients. They are a development within developments that isn’t going away anytime soon. It attracts a slightly younger, more-active crowd of retirees looking primarily to downsize and to simplify their lives but who are not yet interested in on-site medical and care facilities. While retirement communities are hardly a new thing in Delaware, builders and buyers alike seem to be especially drawn to the 55-plus concept, where most residents must be at least that age. Route 301 is now a limited-access highway that has been nicknamed the “Middletown Autobahn.” And the fastest growing crop is not corn nor beans, but housing developments, especially 55-plus communities. Now, just over 20 years later, Middletown has almost quadrupled in size to 23,000 residents. And the most-exciting happening each spring was seeing whether the local farmers were going to plant soybeans or corn. Route 301 meandered through its western edges like a cow ambling across a meadow. In 2000, this northernmost town south of the C&D Canal had a population of slightly over 6,000 people. If a local Rip Van Winkle woke up today in Middletown, he might find that, while he was snoozing, his farm had been turned into a residential community with a clubhouse and a pickleball court. The age-restricted communities are growing in popularity in Delaware. Real estate is not just my profession, it is also my passion.Rich Julian, president of Benchmark Builders, poses at the entrance to its 55-plus community, Traditions at Whitehall, near Middletown.
