Ellery Farm is a proposed townhome subdivision at 3431 S. DuPont Blvd., near Smyrna, in unincorporated Kent County, Delaware. County records describe 332 townhomes on about 82 acres. That works out to roughly four homes per acre, with the rest of the land going to streets, shared open space and stormwater areas.
The county records do not say what is on the land now. Many large parcels along this stretch of highway are farmland, but that is not confirmed here.
The only public document found online is a December 2024 state planning agenda that lists the project for review. No developer website, news coverage, opposition, or approval decisions were found.
What it could mean nearby
- Traffic: 332 homes would add daily trips on S. DuPont Blvd. (U.S. Route 13). A traffic study would normally measure the effect.
- Housing: the project would add 332 homes to the Smyrna area.
- Schools and utilities: more students and demand for sewer and water would be expected. The records found do not say how they would be served.
