Somerset Green

Every home in Somerset Green is a resale townhome.
Builder: Ryan Homes built the community, mainly on its Glyndon townhome plan.
Layout: listings show open main floors, a first-floor primary bedroom with its own bath, and a loft and more bedrooms upstairs.
Size: the Glyndon plan runs about 2,000 to 3,200 square feet with the lower level, and recent listings show about 2,900 to 3,150 square feet.
Age: the homes were built in the late 2010s, so most are under ten years old.
Recent prices: 2024 to 2026 sales and listings have run from about $430,000 to about $475,000.
The exact size and finished space of any home is on its listing, and we will pull it for you.

Somerset Green is a townhome community without a shared amenity program.
On site: streets, sidewalks, common lawns and guest parking. We did not find a clubhouse or pool.
Close by: the Junction and Breakwater Trail, Cape Henlopen State Park and the beaches are a short drive.
Getting around: a DART beach bus stop on Route 1 is a short walk, according to a recent listing.
If a pool and clubhouse matter to you, see the three communities further down this page.

Recent listings show Somerset Green's fee as a condominium association fee rather than a homeowners association fee, even though the homes are townhomes.
What that means: the association can own and maintain more of the buildings and grounds than a typical townhome HOA does, and its insurance and reserve rules follow Delaware condominium law.
Your insurance: who insures what, the outside of the building or only the inside of the home, is set by the condominium documents. Your agent and insurer should read them.
Rentals: a recent listing says short-term rentals are not permitted, with a 30-day minimum.
We will get the resale certificate before you commit, so you see the fee, the reserves and the rules up front.

Somerset Green has a Lewes mailing address but sits outside the City of Lewes limits, in unincorporated Sussex County.
Beaches: Lewes Beach and Rehoboth Beach are each roughly four to five miles away, and Cape Henlopen State Park is about the same distance.
Health care: Beebe's main hospital on Savannah Road in Lewes is about four miles away, and Beebe's Specialty Surgical Hospital is off Route 24.
Everyday errands: Weis Markets at the Villages of Five Points is about a mile north.
Schools: Cape Henlopen School District. Confirm school assignments with the district for any specific address.

What the fees cover: the common areas and the outside upkeep set out in the condominium documents. We will confirm the full list for any home.
Recent figures: an October 2025 listing shows about $269 a month.

Fees change. We will get the current figure for any home you are considering.

The practical details of owning here.

Rentals: a 30-day minimum, per a recent listing.
Ask us for the condominium rules 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: Somerset Green is outside the City of Lewes limits, 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.
