Roesville

Every home in Roesville is a resale. The community was built by J.S. Hovnanian and Sons.
Home type: detached ranch homes with an attached two-car garage. Some have a bonus room over the garage, and a few were built with a sunroom.
Size: the floor plans run from about 1,300 to about 2,200 square feet, with two to four bedrooms. The plans are listed below.
Lots: recent listings show lots of about a quarter to a third of an acre.
Recent prices: 2025 and 2026 listings have run from about $349,000 to about $430,000.
Condition: homes are 12 to 18 years old, so many have had new heating, air conditioning, flooring or windows. Ask us what has been replaced in any home you like.
The exact size and features of any home are on its listing, and we will pull it for you.

The amenities are centered on the clubhouse.
Clubhouse: a great room and meeting room, a card and game room with billiards, and a media room with a TV.
Fitness: a fitness room with cardio and weight equipment.
Outdoors: a walking path through the common grounds.
Not here: there is no golf course, and recent listings do not show an outdoor pool. Ask us before you assume one.

Roesville was planned for far more homes than were built, and building has stopped.
The plan: the original plan called for several hundred homes and a larger clubhouse. Building stopped well short of that.
What that means: you are buying in a community with its homes and amenities in place, and no builder selling new homes beside you.
Resale only: every purchase is a resale, so price, condition and updates vary from home to home.
Open land: ask us what is planned for any undeveloped land near a home you are considering. The county record is the place to check.
We will look up the county record for the land around any home before you commit.

Roesville has a Felton mailing address in central Kent County.
Beaches: the Delaware Bay beaches at Bowers and Slaughter Beach are about 20 minutes away, and Rehoboth Beach is about 45 minutes to an hour.
Health care: Bayhealth's Sussex Campus in Milford is about 15 minutes away, and Bayhealth's Kent Campus in Dover is about 20 minutes.
Everyday errands: Redner's and Walmart on Route 13 in Camden, and Walmart and Food Lion in Milford.
Schools: Lake Forest School District. Confirm school assignments with the district for any specific address.

Roesville has one homeowners association.
What the fees cover: lawn care, snow removal, common area maintenance and the clubhouse. Some 2025 listings also show trash removal and management.
Recent figures: 2025 and 2026 listings show fees of about $133 to $140 a month.
At settlement: any one-time transfer or capital fee is shown on the resale certificate.
Fees change. We will get the current figure for any home you are considering.

The practical details of owning here.
Utilities: public water and public sewer in recent listings, with natural gas heat in the homes we have seen.
Maintenance: the association handles lawn care and snow removal. The owner handles the house itself.
Parking: an attached two-car garage and a driveway.
Rules: the HOA documents set the age rules and the rules for pets, fences and exterior changes.
Ask us for the HOA documents before you write an offer.

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 Kent 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: the property tax bill here is Kent County tax plus Lake Forest School District tax, and town tax only if the home is inside town limits. Kent County reassessed every property recently, so older tax figures on a listing may not reflect what you will pay.
