Cart Branch Hollow is a proposal for 52 garden-style apartments on about 9 acres in Greenwood, Delaware. The site is east of Addix Avenue and south of Maryland Avenue. Garden-style means low-rise buildings with surface parking, not tall towers.
The land is zoned R-1, a lower-density residential category. The developer asks to rezone it to R-3, which allows apartments. The request also includes site plan review, which is a check of the layout, parking and access.
A January 2025 state planning agenda lists an earlier concept for the same location. It was called Greenwood Garden Apartments, with 72 units on about 7.9 acres, and it also sought R-1 to R-3 rezoning. The name, unit count and acreage differ from the county filing, so the plan appears to have changed. No news coverage, opposition, approvals or future occupants were found.
What it could mean nearby
- Up to 52 new rental homes would add housing in Greenwood, replacing the current R-1 residential zoning with higher-density use.
- Traffic would likely increase on Addix Avenue and Maryland Avenue, though no traffic study was found.
- Utility, school and open-space effects are not described in the sources found.
Where it stands
The county's latest filing, dated July 2025, covers a rezoning request and site plan review. The rezoning normally needs a public hearing and a recommendation from the planning body before the governing body votes. A site plan usually follows once the zoning is settled. No decision was found online.
