North Star, DE

North Star is a census-designated place in New Castle County, Delaware, northwest of Wilmington and close to the Pennsylvania line. It is divided between the Red Clay Consolidated School District and Christina School District, which reflects its position among several suburban communities rather than around one traditional downtown. North Star is mostly residential, with access to Pike Creek, Hockessin, Newark, and Wilmington-area jobs. It feels like a residential Delaware suburb with schools, parks, shopping, and state-line geography doing most of the work.
