The original Flats were built over 100 years ago. Once Phase VI is completed, they will include 453 units of affordable housing. We've kept many of the features of the priginal buildings - red brick exteriors and front porches - but added the amenities of today like air conditioning, and in-unit washer and dryers.

It started with a view.

William Bancroft was known to stand at a rock high above the bend in the Brandywine, pointing out to friends the stunning view of the valley. The view spanned from Wilmington, Delaware into the farmland and countryside of Brandywine Hundred. When Bancroft looked toward Brandywine Hundred, he looked, in a sense, to the future, and imagined a time when the city of Wilmington would expand into the open land to the north. Bancroft predicted that the area between Philadelphia and Wilmington would become a metropolitan area. So he set out to preserve the unmatched beauty of the lower Brandywine Valley for residents and future generations to enjoy.

Bancroft’s mission was to provide open space as respite for people living in crowded, urban conditions, and he was the leading force in establishing the Park Commission in Wilmington. Under his leadership, the city acquired Brandywine Park and Rockford Park, which are still popular destinations today. Bancroft also reserved land for neighborhood Wilmington parks that are today known as Judy Johnson Park, Kosciusko Park, and Haynes Park.
