Brandywood is a small, quiet place located in New Castle County, Delaware, in the United States. It's known as an unincorporated community. This means it's a group of homes and businesses that aren't officially a city or town with its own local government. Instead, it's part of the larger county.

Discovering Brandywood

Brandywood is found in the northern part of Delaware. It's a residential area where people live in homes rather than a busy downtown area.

Where is Brandywood Located?

Brandywood is situated to the west of Delaware Route 261. This road helps connect different parts of the county. The community is nestled between two other roads: Grubb Road and Delaware Route 92. These roads help people get around the area easily.

What is an Unincorporated Community?

An unincorporated community, like Brandywood, is a place where people live close together but don't have their own city hall or mayor. Instead, the county government, which is New Castle County in this case, takes care of services like roads, police, and fire protection for everyone living there. It's different from a city or town that has its own local rules and leaders.
