Tucked into an established neighborhood in Middletown, Parkside\u2019s location balances the relaxing lifestyle of lower Delaware with the get-up-and-go activities of nearby metropolitan areas. It\u2019s the best of both worlds.<br \/>\nLocally, you\u2019ll find a long list of things to love: friendly neighbors, scenic parks, full-service shopping, Appoquinimink schools, the Middletown Historic District, and even a 12-screen movie theatre. But it doesn\u2019t stop there. Centrally located, Middletown is just 30 minutes from Wilmington and about an hour from both Philadelphia and the Delaware beaches. Plan a day trip to the ball game, to the beach, or to catch a theatre matinee, and you can still be home in time for dinner.<br \/>\nBut don\u2019t just take my word for it. The locals are the ones who really know what makes Parkside\u2019s location so sweet. Here\u2019s how John M. describes living in Middletown:<br \/>\n<i>\u201cAfter we moved here from the suburbs of Chicago, we immediately felt a connection with Middletown. It has the stores, restaurants, and conveniences of a city, but the feel of a small town. It is committed to intelligent growth, but is still focused on its history. We just fell in love with Parkside. Though we looked at nearly a hundred other homes, we knew that we wanted to live here. There is no other place like it in New Castle County. It is, literally, a community with gorgeous homes, beautiful landscaping, and an impressive clubhouse. Our biggest fear in moving was leaving behind all of our friends. In Parkside, we have developed friendships as strong as any we have ever had because the residents here share our sense of pride and ownership and are dedicated to maintaining a beautiful, friendly community. The developers and builders share that dedication. From the very first day we moved in, we knew we had found our home.\u201d<\/i><br \/>\nI couldn\u2019t have said it better. You can change the d\u00e9cor and landscaping of your home, but the location is there to stay. And speaking of <i>location<\/i>, my guess is that the residents at Parkside wouldn\u2019t change a thing.<br \/>\n[slickr-flickr search=&#8221;sets&#8221; set=&#8221;72157648006843236&#8243; orientation=&#8221;horizontal&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When it comes to real estate, everyone has heard the old clich\u00e9 about location. \u00a0And there\u2019s a reason that familiar saying is so popular.
