Edenridge is an unincorporated community in New Castle County, Delaware, United States[1] in the Brandywine Hundred, north of Wilmington.
Edenridge lies west of Concord Pike (U.S. Route 202) and east of Brandywine Creek State Park.[2] Edenridge is located near the intersection of Mt. Lebanon Road and Sharpley Road between of Talleyville and Rockland. It is part of the ZIP Code Tabulation Area for 19803.[3][2]
The grounds of Mount Lebanon Methodist Episcopal Church lie on a western edge of the subdivision.[4][5] Husbands Run, a tributary of Brandywine Creek, flows through the community. Woodley Park abuts the neighborhood.[6]
Like neighboring Sharpley, Woodbrook and Tavistock, Edenridge was developed by Woodlawn Trustees.[7][8][9] The neighborhoods were included in the master plan for development of the Brandywine Hundred created by Charles Wellford Leavitt in 1922.[10] When originally laid in the mid-1960s the neighborhood was 11 streets on 52 acres.[11][12] Land sales from the properties were used to subsidize the maintenance of Woodlawn housing in the Flats neighborhood in Wilmington.[13] The first house went up in 1966.[14] Many of the homes were custom or semi-custom built for the original owners.[2] Deed restrictions were established in 1964.[5] In 1994, many residents felt that regulations originally imposed by Woodlawn Trustees were beneficial.[14]
