Pike Creek is an awesome area! One of the safest places in DE if you check crime maps and very centrally located. The landscape is gorgeous and open with rolling hills and four full seasons. There are tons of walking, biking, hiking trails in the area. White Clay Creek state park is walkable from my house, but also nearby to Middle Run, Newark Reservoir, Paper Mill Park, and plenty more. There's a bike trail that will take you directly to main street Newark in 4 miles.
We are close to University of Delaware, but far enough to have some quiet. Lots of homes here are on 1/2 acre.
The food in Delaware is average compared to other states. For groceries, you can make the drive to Trader Joes, Costco, and there is supposed to be a Wegmans coming, but no idea when.
Proximity wise, Kennett square and Longwood Gardens PA just 15 minutes away. Trolley Square Wilmington 20 minutes away. Amtrak Wilmington can take you to NYC or DC in under 2 hours (check out the Acela line).

Safe neighborhood. Close to things to do. Away from hustle and bustle but also close enough to Newark and Philly to have plenty to do. Not much traffic and not a lot changes over time here. Most houses are owner occupied.
Fall and spring are wonderful here . Winter is moderate with highs often in the low 40s.
