Every home in Seabrook is now a resale. The neighborhood was built by K. Hovnanian Homes.

The exact size and features of any home are on its listing, and we will pull it for you.

Seabrook keeps its amenities simple. The main shared feature is the pool.
Pool: an outdoor community pool, covered by the HOA fee.
Grounds: lawn care for the homes is part of the HOA fee, along with snow removal on the streets.
Golf nearby: Seabrook has no course of its own. Baywood Greens, about a mile and a half away at Long Neck, has an 18-hole course open to the public.
Trails nearby: the Junction and Breakwater Trail in Rehoboth Beach is about 20 minutes away for walking and biking.

Seabrook is finished. The builder has moved on, and every home now comes up as a resale.
Newer systems: homes built from about 2018 to 2020 have roofs, heating and cooling, and water heaters that are only a few years old. Many have tankless water heaters.
Warranties: any builder warranty left on a home depends on its original closing date. Ask for the paperwork, and have the home inspected anyway.
What changes: with no new homes coming, choice here depends on what owners list. Prices are set by recent resales, not a builder price sheet.
We will pull the recent sales in Seabrook so you can see what homes have actually closed for.

The practical details of owning here.
Utilities: listings show public sewer and natural gas service. Water is listed as public on some homes and private on others, so confirm the provider for the specific home.
Heating and cooling: central air, with gas forced air or heat pumps depending on the home.
Maintenance: the HOA mows the lawns. The owner looks after the house and the rest of the lot.
Rules: the HOA rules cover things like fences, sheds and exterior changes. Read them before you plan any project.
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 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: Seabrook is outside the Town of Millsboro limits, in unincorporated Sussex County, so the property tax bill is county and Indian River 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.
