Westhampton: A Coveted Location

We’re all familiar with the popular real estate phrase, “Location, location, location!” While it’s true that, for some, a home's location can be an almost more important consideration than the home itself, the perfect location can mean different things to different buyers. For some, the ideal location is quaint and charming, close to the countryside and near to nature. For others, it can mean an area rich in cultural attractions and surrounded by important historic sites. For still others, it means proximity to major cities and the many conveniences they offer.

Get to Know the Area

Whatever your definition of the perfect location, Blenheim Homes’ community of Westhampton fits it. Located just outside the highly coveted and quaint city of Hockessin, DE, Westhampton is at once forested and private

Westhampton is conveniently located just 2 miles from the heart of quaint Hockessin, where residents can enjoy area shops, restaurants, and beautiful athletics facilities like the Hockessin Athletic Club.

For the outdoorsy types, there is no shortage of outdoor parks and facilities surrounding the community. Just 5 minutes away residents will find  Delcastle Golf Club and Recreation Park, where you can play around with friends, play a baseball game, reserve a court at the new tennis complex, or take the dog for a walk around their paved track. Also nearby are Carousel Park & Equestrian Center and White Clay Creek State Park. 

Looking for a day trip or a night on the town? While Westhampton is perfectly situated to be both private and serene, it is still close to area attractions and bustling cities like Philadelphia (50 minutes away) and downtown Wilmington (22 minutes away). Head to the Wilmington Riverfront where you can catch a baseball game, a movie or enjoy one of the dozens of restaurants that downtown Wilmington has to offer. Downtown Wilmington is also home to many area banks, offices, and hospitals, making Westhampton a great location for individuals moving to the area for work. Likewise, the University of Delaware is just 20 minutes away.

Although these city attractions are just a short drive away, so are the enchanting countrysides of Pennsylvania, as well as some of Delaware’s most interesting historic sites. Pennsylvania’s beautiful destinations like Kennett Square and Chadds Ford are both only 20-25 minutes away, while Delaware’s own Brandywine Valley Scenic Byway is only 12 minutes away.

It’s easy to see why when you consider that a relaxing Saturday can include anything from a morning at the golf course to an afternoon sipping wine in a nearby vineyard to an evening taking in a Broadway show and a delicious dinner.

Community Benefits of Living in Westhampton

Westhampton's location - a rare find in northern Delaware - was selected to give Delaware buyers access to the area’s various attractions. Half of the Westhampton community is preserved as open space, and all of its home lots back up to mature trees so that residents can enjoy a private, tranquil living experience while benefiting from easy access to locally-owned shops and restaurants, athletic clubs, golf courses, and entertainment. Be sure to peruse the Westhampton photo gallery to get a feel for the neighborhood.

Why Build with Blenheim Homes

While Westhampton’s location is certainly one of Delaware’s favorites, the area itself is not the only reason to buy a Blenheim home. At Blenheim, we take immense care in creating attractive home designs, crafting neighborhoods that are unified in architectural thought while also expressing variety and personality.

But we also know that the interior of a home is just as important as its exterior. That’s why all Blenheim Homes are built with premium materials and high-quality construction practices that offer lasting value. Because we have nothing to hide, we invite all of our buyers to tour our materials so they can see exactly what’s inside their new home. With our dedication to creating comfortable and high-quality communities, it’s little wonder that we’ve taken home several awards over our 35+ years in the industry. Don’t take our word for it - you can read our customers’ testimonials first hand here.
