Harts Landing

Pulte Homes built Harts Landing between about 2006 and 2009, and the community has been complete since.
Size: most homes run about 2,300 to 3,200 square feet.
Bedrooms: three or four bedrooms.
Lots: fee simple, averaging about a third of an acre, each with its own irrigation.
Utilities: recent listings record public water, public sewer and natural gas heat. Confirm the details for any specific home before you rely on them.
Because the homes are now fifteen to twenty years old, roofs, heating and cooling systems and water heaters vary a great deal from house to house. Ask us for the listing history on the home you are considering.

The amenities sit together near the entrance at 20669 Annondell Drive.
What the community provides: an outdoor pool, the clubhouse, a tennis court, and walking and biking trails through the common areas.
On the creek: a fishing and crabbing pier with a gazebo on Love Creek. Kayaks and canoes can launch from the pier. There is no boat ramp.
Nearby on the water: a marina about half a mile west on Route 24 for anyone who wants a slip or a ramp.

Harts Landing was fully built out more than fifteen years ago, and that shapes what it is like to buy here.
No construction: there are no phases still coming, no empty lots next door and no construction traffic.
Mature setting: the trees and landscaping have had years to grow in.
Known costs: the HOA has a long budget history and a funded reserve, so you can see what the fees have done over time before you buy.

Harts Landing is on the Route 24 side of Lewes, west of Route 1.
Beaches: Rehoboth Beach about five and a half miles, Lewes Beach about six, and Cape Henlopen State Park about seven and a half.
Getting anywhere: Route 1 is about two miles away for the shopping corridor and the drive north.
Health care: the nearest hospital is Beebe in Lewes.
Schools: Cape Henlopen School District. Confirm school assignments with the district for any specific address.

The October 2025 resale certificate put the HOA fee at $674.17 a quarter, with no special assessment.
What it covers: lawn mowing and edging on every lot, the pool and clubhouse, the tennis court, the pier and gazebo, the trails, the private streets including snow removal, weekly trash pickup, and the common areas and entrance.
What it does not cover: the outside of your home is your responsibility.
Reserves: the same certificate showed a reserve fund of about $631,000.
Management: the association is professionally managed.
Fees change. We will get the current figures for any home you are considering.

A few practical rules worth knowing before you buy.
Lawn: the HOA mows and edges every lawn, so the yard work that is left is your own planting beds.
Parking: no street parking, and no RV or boat storage in the community.
Pets: up to four pets per home.
Adding a pool: in-ground pools are allowed with architectural approval.
Trash: weekly trash pickup is part of the HOA fee.
Ask us for the full restrictions before you write an offer. We have them on file.

Read this first: Active Adults Realty is not a tax, legal or financial advisor and nothing below is advice. Confirm every figure with your own tax professional and with Sussex County before you rely on it.
The state picture: Delaware has no state sales tax, no estate tax and no inheritance tax, and Social Security is not taxed.
The local picture: Harts Landing is in unincorporated Sussex County, so the property tax bill is county and school tax with no town tax on top. Sussex County reassessed every property recently, so older tax figures on a listing may not reflect what you will pay.
