There is a distinct difference in the housing options to the west and east of Bunker Hill Elementary School. East of the school complex is mostly agricultural farmlands that have farm estates. There are also private communities with beautiful custom-built residences and luxury homes. These include several private acreage homes along Sassafras Drive which is found northwest of the school. These houses are beautifully designed with large home sites, spacious backyards, and some properties have private pools. On the other hand, to the east of Bunker Hill Elementary School in the downtown area of Middletown are many suburban subdivisions and residential city blocks. These neighborhoods primarily have single-family homes and townhouses that offer an ideal suburban living environment for families looking to move into the city.
