The story of Serenity at Cubbage Pond is a quiet alternative to high-density development. If you are moving to Lincoln, Delaware, or exploring the best neighborhoods in Lincoln, DE, this community offers an increasingly rare opportunity: the chance to own a new home with acreage. Instead of a large amenity package, the focus is on personal fulfillment—gardening, building a workshop, installing a private pool, or simply enjoying a peaceful sunset over the pond. The large lots give each home privacy, and the community is within easy reach of Coastal Delaware.

Serenity at Cubbage Pond is perfectly positioned to capture the best of Southern Delaware living:
Beaches & Coastal Towns: Easy, short-drive access (20-30 minutes) to the charm of Lewes, the dining of Rehoboth Beach, and the shopping of the Midway area.
Healthcare: Conveniently located near major, award-winning health campuses, including Bayhealth Sussex Campus and Beebe Healthcare, essential for peace of mind.
Shopping: Minutes from the burgeoning commercial centers of Milford for everyday essentials, and a short drive to the extensive tax-free outlets near Rehoboth.
Connectivity: Direct access to Route 1 provides straightforward travel north toward Dover or south toward the coast.

The HOA structure is highly appealing to the value-focused buyer who prefers to manage their own yard maintenance:
Annual HOA Fee (as of October 2025): Approximately $852 per year (equates to only $71 per month).
What the Fee Covers: Common area maintenance, snow removal on community roads, and maintenance of the amenity areas (pickleball court, pavilion).
What the Fee DOES NOT Cover: This is a key benefit for the low-cost model—it does not include personal lawn care or trash/recycling services, saving residents money on those unnecessary bundled services.
