More Than What You Know Us For: How Lang Development Group Is Expanding the Definition of Home
Due to our proximity to the University of Delaware, for years Lang Development Group has been associated with delivering high-quality student housing and thoughtfully designed commercial spaces across Delaware. While those markets remain a core part of the tenants who seek our spaces, they don’t tell the whole story. Over the past year, Lang has intentionally expanded into market-rate residential living, guided by the same principles that define all of our work: strong locations, enduring design, and places that genuinely enhance everyday life.
That evolution comes to life in two standout communities – The Village at Twin Lakes and The Dean at Creek View, both located in Newark, yet offering distinctly different lifestyles. Together, they reflect Lang’s belief that great development isn’t one-size-fits-all; it’s about creating the right environment for how people actually want to live.
A Fresh Take on Neighborhood Living
At The Village at Twin Lakes, modern townhome living meets natural serenity. This brand-new community was designed for residents who value space, comfort, and connection – to both nature and daily conveniences. Each three-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhome offers 1,350 square feet of thoughtfully planned living space, complete with open-concept layouts, second-floor laundry, attached garages, and private primary ensuites.
What truly sets Twin Lakes apart is its setting. Two scenic ponds and a picturesque nature path provide a calming backdrop, while the interiors echo that same sense of ease through neutral, natural finishes like quartz countertops, Oak Saddle hardwood flooring, and classic granite vanity tops. It’s a community that feels polished but never pretentious, ideal for those who want upscale living without sacrificing warmth or livability.
Located just minutes from major highways and close to shopping, dining, and the University of Delaware, Twin Lakes offers the best of both worlds: a quiet, welcoming neighborhood with effortless access to Wilmington, Philadelphia, and the cultural energy of downtown Newark.
Where History, Design, and Lifestyle Intersect
If Twin Lakes represents modern suburban ease, The Dean at Creek View tells a very different – and equally compelling – story. Here, historic architecture meets contemporary industrial loft living in a setting that feels both grounded and inspiring. Original exposed beams, brick, and stonework have been carefully preserved, giving each studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartment a sense of authenticity you simply can’t replicate.
Set along the banks of White Clay Creek and within the larger Creek View Complex, The Dean offers a rare balance of tranquility and vibrancy. Residents can start the morning with a walk by the water, work remotely from on-site workstations or coffee bars, and end the day with a rooftop sunset, a fitness class, or dinner steps from their front door. With amenities ranging from a fitness center and yoga studio to a rooftop lounge, game room, toddler playroom, and rentable party space, The Dean is designed to support every chapter of life—not just where you live, but how you live.
Its location near Newark’s Main Street, local parks, and White Clay Creek State Park places residents at the center of arts, dining, recreation, and nature—without ever feeling overwhelmed by it.
One Vision, Two Distinct Experiences
While The Village at Twin Lakes and The Dean at Creek View offer very different lifestyles, they share a common foundation: intentional design, strong community connection, and locations that make daily life easier and richer. Together, they represent an important milestone for Lang Development Group – proof that our expertise extends well beyond the spaces we’re traditionally known for.
As we continue to grow, our focus remains the same: creating places with purpose, personality, and lasting value. Whether that’s a student apartment, a commercial hub, a modern townhome, or a historic loft, Lang is committed to building environments where people don’t just live or work, but truly feel at home.
Lang Development Group proudly supports and complies with the Fair Housing Act, offering equal housing opportunities to all persons regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, familial status, disability, or any other protected class under applicable law.
