Talk to a Specialist →The Cascades sits on Pulaski Highway in Newark, directly adjacent to Christiana Hospital — Delaware’s largest hospital and the home of Christiana Care Health System, consistently ranked among the best hospitals in the Mid-Atlantic region. For active adult buyers who prioritize proximity to high-quality healthcare as a retirement planning factor, no community in the Delaware 55+ market is closer to this level of medical infrastructure.
Christiana Hospital operates a Level I Trauma Center, a comprehensive cancer center, cardiac surgery, and specialist services that smaller hospitals in Sussex County or Kent County do not have on-site. Buyers with complex health histories or family members who require specialist care will find this proximity compelling in ways that beach proximity does not replace.
The Cascades is a compact Lennar community of 113 single-family homes on Pulaski Highway in Newark. Lennar’s “Everything Included” bundled upgrade model applies — quartz countertops, stainless appliances, smart home features are standard rather than design center upgrades. The clubhouse includes a lounge, fitness center, outdoor pool with patio, and an outdoor fireplace seating area. The community is small by Delaware 55+ standards, which creates an intimate character. Homes range from approximately 1,900–2,400 sq ft based on active listings, priced $499K–$524K.
Newark’s Route 40 commercial corridor is 5 minutes away for everyday services. The University of Delaware’s campus, arts programs, and continuing education offerings are directly adjacent — a specific advantage for buyers who value intellectual engagement and university-adjacent cultural programming.

The Cascades is the right answer for a specific buyer: someone who weights healthcare proximity above beach proximity in their retirement planning, wants Lennar’s Everything Included new construction at $400K–$500K in a strictly 55+ community, and values the University of Delaware cultural orbit. It is the wrong answer for buyers whose primary motivation is the Delaware beach lifestyle — Rehoboth Beach is 75+ minutes from Newark.
The Cascades’ location next to Christiana Hospital is a specific answer to a specific question. We can help you evaluate whether it is the right fit for your situation.
