Green Acres is located on the south side of Silverside Road just west of the I-95 Freeway. It is about halfway between Marsh Road and Philadelphia Pike providing multiple commuting options both into Wilmington and throughout the area. I-95 is just minutes away with the ramps on Marsh Road affording quick access north or south toward Philadelphia/New York and the Baltimore/Washington DC areas.
Green Acres contains over 350 homes and was largely built between 1955 and 1958 although some construction continued into the early 1960s. 
The community contains a great variety of contemporary 1950s styles including various split levels, ranches, raised ranches, and colonials. Most homes averaged between 1600 and 2600 square feet although homes were built as small as 1350 square feet and now range up to almost 4000 square feet. Many lots were around the quarter acre size although various sections varied from .16 up to almost .50 acres.
