Pike Creek is a census-designated place in New Castle County, home to about 7,900 residents. It sits along Limestone Road (Route 7) between Wilmington and Newark, sharing the Pike Creek corridor with the adjacent Pike Creek Valley CDP. The community developed mainly in the 1970s and 1980s, filling in farmland with subdivisions, townhouse clusters, and small commercial strips.

Medical offices, dental practices, and professional services also cluster along Limestone Road. The area falls within the Red Clay Consolidated School District, with high marks from families for school quality.
Carousel Park, managed by New Castle County, is a 200-acre facility on the western edge of Pike Creek that includes equestrian rings, sports fields, playgrounds, and walking trails. The park hosts horse shows, cross-country meets, and community events throughout the year. Pike Creek's proximity to Middle Run Valley Natural Area and White Clay Creek State Park gives residents easy access to more than 2,000 combined acres of protected open space within a short drive.
