Hockessin Reviews
Rating 4.23 out of 5 30 reviews
Hockessin is a quaint, tight-knit town with lots of green-space and no fast foods allowed. It's quaint, friendly and easy to navigate. There are many small businesses, unique boutiques and antique stores and wonderful restaurants with local wines and of course mushrooms because it is so close to Kennett Square: the mushroom capital of the world!
There are good schools in the area, for kids and adults. The University of Delaware is close, and great for college students--in-state tuition is a great deal! There are lots of developments, which are collections of houses, usually on pretty quiet streets, which often end in a cul-de-sac, or another entrance to the development. There are a couple of shopping centers, Lantana Square being the most notable. There is low crime; when there IS crime, people usually warn about it on the Nextdoor app and website. That goes for the whole area around here. You won't be afraid to travel at night here, although you will need to lock your house and car. There are, very occasionally, solicitors who knock on your door, although most developments prohibit them. People are friendly, even the ones you don't know. Around here, we don't just say "Hi," we say "How are you?" too. Lastly, you'll need a car to get around, although it shouldn't be difficult at all to find parking.
Peaceful areas for introverted people. Forests and trees cover the most part, even on the road, and most buildings here look ancient, as in bricks, but really cozy. Air quality is awesome since it’s not a big or major city. If your dream house is something like a house on a hill lookin out to a forest with the closest neighbor being 100 feet away, then congratulations, this is the place!
