Townsend insight
What makes the Townsend market different.
Townsend is one of the smallest incorporated towns in our entire footprint (~2,100 population) but sits in a fast-growing region — southern New Castle County has seen significant new-subdivision development along Route 1 (the major DE shore-route artery to the beaches). Blackbird State Forest covers much of the surrounding land (including Tax Ditch / Blackbird Creek). The adjacent Middletown area (much larger, in adjacent municipality) is the regional commercial draw. Townsend is at the southern edge of our reachable footprint — distance from Philly HQ is 75-90 min via I-95 / Route 1. We schedule Townsend work at least 24-48 hrs in advance to consolidate routing with other DE-area calls. Most jobs are residential rekey or new-home post-closing work.
