Legacy at The Village of Fox Meadow sits in a scenic, wooded spot in Newark, Delaware, giving residents nice natural views and quiet surroundings, and folks will see a mix of single-family homes, townhomes, twin homes, and carriage homes, so there's plenty of different floor plans and sizes for people aged 55 and better, and these homes are pretty roomy, with some offering up to four bedrooms, big closets, full or partial basements-some finished and some just used for storage-a sunroom for more light if anyone wants that, and a loft upstairs that looks out over the main living area, which probably appeals to those who like open space and a lot of light, and these houses keep warm with forced air heating and natural gas, and cool with central air, and there are ceiling fans as well. Homes are Energy Star rated, with energy-efficient features like programmable thermostats, insulated basements, high-efficiency gas furnaces, quick-recovery hot water heaters, and 13-Seer air conditioning, so utility costs stay pretty steady, and some houses even have fireplaces, sometimes with the option for a three-sided fireplace to give a bit of warmth and ambiance.
Bathrooms often have master setups and options for specialty tubs or dual vanities, and laundry sits just off the owner's bedroom, so it's handy, and the owner's bedroom usually gets a huge walk-in closet, with the kitchen opening to the living spaces, some with breakfast bars, and there's a separate dining room for meals or family gatherings. Outside, houses might have decks for sitting out and enjoying the trees and quiet, and garages fit one or two cars, with many attached for easy access, plus driveways and extra parking for visitors or more cars.
The community's managed by an HOA that keeps things up with a monthly fee of $168 covering snow removal, lawn care, trash, common area maintenance, and parking, and that's nice for people who'd rather not worry about yard work or clearing driveways. The clubhouse is a central spot for folks to gather and socialize, or host events, and there's always something on the schedule like crafts, movie nights, music, and social activities run by either residents or the community team, so those who want to stay busy have plenty to do. Recreational facilities include a fitness room, spa and wellness space, activity room, library, and game courts for bocce, pickleball, billiards, and tennis, plus walking trails for fresh air and a dog park if you've got a pet, and the outdoor common spaces let people stretch their legs or enjoy nature within the community.
Homes are wired for high-speed internet, cable TV, and telephone, and rooms come with private bathrooms, air conditioning, and carpet for comfort. For those needing more support, Legacy at The Village of Fox Meadow provides assisted living services, helping residents with daily activities like dressing, bathing, meals, and medication, all watched over by a team with a 24-hour call system for safety and peace of mind, and residents get personalized care, whether it's meal preparation-with meals in a dining room, restaurant-style service, or menu options for allergies and diabetes-housekeeping, laundry, or transportation help, so things run a bit smoother for everyone. There's also respite care for families who need short-term help.
Community size is small, just six residents for assisted living, so staff can give close attention, and the whole village includes about 194 homes total with options for resale if people want to move in. The Legacy at The Village of Fox Meadow isn't gated, and some homes are sold or closing out, so folks can find what suits them, and it's not a golf community but has a focus on active, convenient living, with medical services, support for independence, and a good mix of privacy and social connection. The community welcomes people aged 55 and older looking for both independence and a little extra help if they need it, set up in the northern Delaware area for easy access to shops, services, and family nearby.
