Them vs. Us

Most apartment communities offer similar floor plans, similar amenities, and similar experiences. The Mill on Flax was built around something most communities can’t offer: a setting with history, character, and a connection to Delaware itself.

Two-story apartment building with wooden balconies, sliding glass doors, and air conditioning units, on a cloudy day with bare trees and a patchy lawn. A paved path runs alongside a modern apartment building with balconies and patio furniture, bordered by lush green trees and grass under a blue sky.

DISTINCTIVE COMMUNITY

A community you'll actually want to come home to. Unlike cookie-cutter apartment complexes, The Mill on Flax offers a historic riverfront setting with character, scenic views, and a sense of place you won't find just anywhere.

RESORT AMENITIES

Amenities that feel like an escape. Go beyond the standard gym and pool with river access, walking paths, a welcoming clubhouse, and resort-style amenities designed to elevate everyday living.
A rural road stretches into the distance under a cloudy sky, with a sign on the right reading "Delaware County Jail 2 Miles. A city sidewalk with outdoor seating, storefronts, and American flags. Red chairs and tables are in front of Whit's, and signage for several businesses is visible. Trees provide some shade.

WALKABLE LOCATION

Step outside. Leave the car behind. While many apartment communities require a drive for everything, The Mill on Flax puts restaurants, shopping, entertainment, and the riverfront just a short walk away.
