New Castle's Historic District -- more than 600 structures spanning four centuries -- offers a genuinely distinctive colonial-era living experience, at a meaningfully higher price point than the city's broader average.
More affordable neighborhoods beyond the district
New Castle's residential areas outside the Historic District carry the city's own below-national average home value, a more affordable option for buyers not specifically seeking historic-district living.
