Welcome to Northwood, a brand-new community coming soon to Delaware, Ohio. Located just east of downtown, this thoughtfully planned neighborhood offers a peaceful setting close to the city’s most-loved conveniences. With easy access to shopping, dining, major parks, and commuter routes, Northwood delivers an ideal balance of affordability, comfort, and everyday convenience—perfect for first-time homeowners, young families, and anyone looking to settle into a well-designed new construction home.
Northwood will feature an all-new lineup of single-family homes from our Smart Inspire Collection (with basements) and Smart Discovery Collection (on a slab foundation). These series simplify the building experience with pre-selected, designer-curated packages and traditional, farmhouse, and craftsman exteriors to choose from.
Homes range from 1,440 to 2,499 square feet with 3 to 4 bedrooms and 2 to 2.5 bathrooms, and many designs include options such as lofts and home offices. Each plan delivers thoughtful layouts, practical features, and long-term value—all while keeping affordability top of mind. A beautifully furnished model home will be available to tour as the community nears its official launch.
Northwood incorporates open green spaces, ponds, and walking and biking paths to create a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere. Whether you're out for an evening stroll, enjoying time outdoors with your family, or meeting neighbors along the trail, this community encourages a simple, peaceful style of living.
Depending on the homesite location, families in Northwood will be served by either Delaware City Schools or Buckeye Valley Local Schools. Both districts are known for supportive educators, strong academics, and active community involvement.
