Stonegates

Stonegates is a resident-owned retirement community in Greenville, Delaware, offering independent living with full deed ownership of custom homes. Unlike traditional entrance-fee or rental models, residents own their homes—whether apartments or cottages—and maintain control over their care decisions and living arrangements, with guaranteed equity return on their investment.

The community provides a 5-star health care center on-site, with meal plans offering 13 or 30 meals per month. Residents have full access to a fitness center and classes led by a licensed physiologist. Historically, less than 50% of Stonegates residents have needed admission to the health center, and fewer than 18% have required extended stays longer than nine months, allowing most residents to age in place within their own homes.

Activities and amenities include morning yoga sessions, walks through meticulously maintained gardens, an art studio, curated museum excursions, bridge games, outdoor patios, a library, and gourmet dining with craft cocktails and fireside gatherings. The community celebrates a lifestyle-focused culture emphasizing everyday joy and personal connections among residents.

Stonegates is nestled in Greenville, Delaware, minutes from Wilmington yet described as a world away in feel. The surrounding area is known as one of the region's most picturesque and historic communities, featuring rolling hills, nearby gardens, and cultural institutions including Winterthur, Longwood Gardens, and the Delaware Art Museum, with Philadelphia a short drive away.
