Hockessin is an unincorporated community in northwestern New Castle County, near the Pennsylvania line. It is known for wooded lots, larger single-family homes and open space, including nearby Auburn Valley State Park.
Hockessin lies along Route 41 and Route 7 in the Piedmont hills of northern New Castle County, a short drive from Pike Creek, Greenville and the Pennsylvania border. As an unincorporated community, it has no town government, and properties are governed at the county level. Many homes sit on larger lots in established subdivisions, so sellers often describe lot size, setting and nearby open space in their listing remarks.
