 * Keep. It seems like a notable neighborhood. This article shows a somewhat deteriorated sign marking the entrance to Cave Colony This article treats Cape Colony as a community. Wikimapia has this to say: "A housing tract developed in the early days of space flight, with street names from space exploration vehicles: Aquarius, Venus, Mercury, etc." I suspect that there are several other references not available online.

 * Delete: Google maps link. I respectfully disagree with Eastmain here. WP:GEOLAND criterion 2 is very clear that populated places without legal recognition must pass WP:GNG. There is no significant coverage, and the few sources I've found only passingly mention it regarding events that happened in this neighborhood. As an alternative to deletion, a merge to Milton, Delaware may be preferred. Curbon7 (talk) 10:17, 1 August 2021 (UTC)
 * There's actually an article with decent coverage here - it does not that this was outside of Milton (as of 2000), so not sure that merging there is a good idea. Delete, though, a GEOLAND doesn't extend down to the neighborhood/housing development level, and everything else I can find is either passing mentions, advertisements, or real estate listings. A single article isn't enough. Hog Farm Talk 02:58, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete Non-notable housing development. The few news articles treat this as nothing more than a neighborhood and aren't sufficient to meet GNG. –dlthewave ☎ 20:30, 2 August 2021 (UTC)
