Delaware’s Ultimate Gated Waterfront Sanctuary
The Peninsula is widely considered one of the most prestigious and amenity-rich communities in the Mid-Atlantic. Located on a scenic point where the Indian River Bay meets Lingo Creek, it offers a lifestyle defined by luxury, security, and activity.
World-Class Recreation: The community is centered around a Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course, but its appeal goes far beyond the links. The "Lakeside Village" serves as the heart of the community, offering residents everything from a wave pool and sandy beach to a full-service spa.
A Social Masterpiece: Life at The Peninsula is as social as you want it to be. With a full-time activities director, the clubhouse is constantly buzzing with wine tastings, holiday parties, fitness challenges, and special interest clubs.
Natural Serenity: Despite the vast amenities, the community is deeply connected to nature. Hundreds of acres are preserved as wetlands and forests, providing scenic walking trails and breathtaking bay views that offer a peaceful counterpoint to the active resort areas.
Gated Security: For the "lock-and-leave" retiree, the 24/7 manned security gate provides ultimate peace of mind when traveling or spending seasons away.
About the Homes 🗝️
The Peninsula offers one of the widest varieties of home styles in the Delaware coastal region.
Home Types: Single-Family Detached Homes, Townhomes, Villas, and Luxury Condominiums.
Sizes: Options range from manageable 1,500 sq. ft. condos to sprawling 5,000+ sq. ft. estate homes.
Price Range (as of late 2025): Prices are diverse, ranging from the mid $400,000s for condominiums to over $2 Million for waterfront estates.
Retiree Focused Features: Most single-family and villa models prioritize First-Floor Primary Suites. Many newer builds feature high-efficiency systems, gourmet kitchens, and expansive porches designed to take advantage of the bay breezes and golf course views.
