The Courts at Brandywine is ideally located off of Route 202 in beautiful New Castle County, Delaware, just across the Pennsylvania state line. This great location provides easy access to center city Philadelphia, Philadelphia International Airport, West Chester and Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania; and Wilmington, Delaware; as well as Routes 95, 202 and 1. A bus line into Wilmington is within walking distance and the nearby train station offers easy access to multiple destinations.
In addition to the convenient location, the community is close to tax-free shopping (some shopping is within walking distance), restaurants, recreational areas, country clubs, historic areas, and culture which provides homeowners with world-class leisure time activities. As well, an historic building has been converted to a clubhouse at the community for use by residents for meetings and events. And because the outdoor maintenance is taken care of, homeowners have more time to take advantage of all the area offers.
