Middletown Neighborhoods: Opinions Please! (apartment, crime, homes)

[ConsideringDE]

Hello everyone,

My husband and I moved to DE three months ago. We've been living in a temporary apartment and are getting ready to purchase a home. We've narrowed our search down to Middletown. I wanted to get your opinions on several neighborhoods there: Longmeadow, Dove Run, The Legends, and Augustine Creek.

Does anyone live there or know someone who does? They all seem like really nice areas but is one area better than the others? Any major crime issues that you're aware of? Any and all advice would be welcome! Thanks in advance...

I know several people who have lived in The Legends and they really liked it. I also know several realtors who indicated that there were problems with the homes in Dove Run, but I don't know that first hand.

Can someone fill me in on The Legends? We are relocating from NJ soon and our family loves to golf. Are homes holding their value there? How is the Middle School? And....how bad is the traffic? Thanks!

Lotta resales in The Legends so you might be able to pick up a home in there cheaper due to alot of competition . Augustine Creek is very pretty !!

We purchased a home in The Legends. There were not (what I would consider )a lot of resale homes to select from (compared to other communities that we looked at in Middletown) but what was available was affordable and nice. It has been wonderful. The neighborhood has been very welcoming. The golf is great, schools have been good, traffic not bad (compared to NJ!) and plenty of retail, etc close to home.
