New Home Value in the Heart of Sussex County

Somerton Chase represents one of the best value opportunities for retirees seeking a new, high-quality home in Coastal Delaware. Situated in the charming and rapidly growing town of Millsboro, this community of just 202 homesites offers a cozy, intimate neighborhood feel, perfectly tailored to the active adult looking to simplify their life.
Focus on Affordability and Efficiency: A major advantage for the retiree here is the excellent financial structure. The exceptionally low HOA fee (around $90/month) is maintained by focusing amenities on the most popular features, resulting in major monthly savings. Furthermore, all homes are new construction, featuring the latest in energy efficiency, translating to lower utility bills and more money for travel and leisure.
Convenience to the Coast and Services: Somerton Chase is strategically located with quick access to Route 113, the major north/south artery. This positioning allows for effortless travel to essential services, downtown Millsboro's local shops and eateries, and a manageable drive to the Atlantic beaches (Bethany Beach and Rehoboth Beach). The proximity to major highways also means healthcare facilities and the regional airport are easily reached.
Modern, Simplified Living: The homes are built with the retiree lifestyle in mind, featuring open-concept layouts, first-floor primary suites, and low-maintenance exteriors. The new construction means no costly repairs or deferred maintenance for years to come, offering a true lock-and-leave lifestyle.
A Growing, Charming Area: Millsboro is known for its blend of rural charm and modern convenience. Retirees enjoy local parks like Cupola Park, which offers waterfront access for boating and fishing on the Indian River, fostering a connection to nature alongside suburban convenience.
The "Everything’s Included" Promise: Lennar removes the stress of the design center by including premium features—like quartz countertops and luxury vinyl plank flooring—in the base price. What you see in the model is what you get in your home.
Foundation Flexibility: Rare for many coastal communities, Somerton Chase offers both slab and basement options, allowing retirees to choose between easy-access single-level living or the added storage and utility of a lower level.
A Social & Pet-Friendly Atmosphere: The community is designed for connection, featuring a dedicated dog park for four-legged residents and a sparkling community pool that serves as the neighborhood's social heart during the summer months.
