New communities of stately homes and upscale townhouses have transformed Hockessin into a suburban paradise with a still-rural feeling—and a fine place to raise a family. Condominium communities are considerations for first-time buyers and retirees. A cluster of upscale shopping areas offers diverse retail opportunities. Hockessin is close to the red Clay Valley, Ashland Nature Center and its Ashland Hawk Watch, a partnership of the Nature Society and the Delmarva Ornithological Society. The Hockessin Athletic Club, complete with several pools, children’s areas and weight-loss programs, is a top-notch facility. Del 41 and Del. 7 speed motorists to Wilmington and Pike Creek. Country Roads such as Del. 82 wind north to Kennett Square, Pennsylvania, and south to Greenville.
