Why the Condo Setup Matters Here

The homes look like townhouses, but they are owned as condominium units, and that shapes the cost of owning here.
A fee that covers more: the monthly condo fee is higher than a typical HOA fee because it covers more, including water, sewer, trash and exterior building maintenance.
Your insurance: listings show the association carries a master policy, and the owner insures the inside of the home. Your agent and insurer should read the master policy.
Your lender: a condominium loan can need the association to complete a questionnaire for the lender. Start that early.
Age of the buildings: the homes are 28 to 36 years old, so ask what the association has replaced, such as roofs and siding, and what is planned.
We will get the resale certificate and the master policy before you commit, so you see every cost up front.

About the Taxes

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 New Castle 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: Village of Hershey Run is outside the City of Wilmington. Whether a home also pays Town of Newport tax depends on where the town line falls, so check the tax bill for the specific home. New Castle County reassessed every property recently, so older tax figures on a listing may not reflect what you will pay.
