About the Homes

Homes in Wagamons West Shore were built by several builders over about fifteen years, so styles, sizes and floor plans vary from street to street.
Builders: Stover Homes built some of the earlier homes in the mid 2000s, Kincade Homes built homes with basements, and Schell Brothers built here around 2014 to 2016, including the Ainsley, Bryer, Carson, Ethan and Mallory plans.

About the Amenities

Wagamons West Shore has no clubhouse, pool or fitness center. The pond and the town are the amenities.
The pond: Wagamons Pond runs along the east side of the community, and some lots have pond views.
In town: the Milton library, the Milton Theatre, the restaurants on Union Street and Milton Memorial Park on the Broadkill River are all a short trip away.
The trade-off: with nothing to staff or insure, the association fee is a small fraction of what communities with a clubhouse charge.

Why Being Inside the Town Matters Here

Wagamons West Shore is inside the Town of Milton limits, and that changes who provides what and how the tax bill is built.
Town services: the Town of Milton supplies public water and sewer.
The streets: the town maintains the streets, not the association, which is part of why the association fee stays low.
Town tax: homes pay a Town of Milton property tax on top of the county and school tax. 2026 listings show it.
Being in town: downtown Milton on Union Street, the Broadkill River and the town parks are close by, and the elementary and middle schools are under a mile away.
We will confirm the town, county and school figures for any home you are considering before you commit.

What You Get

The practical details of owning here.
Utilities: public water and sewer from the Town of Milton, with propane or electric heat in the homes we have seen listed, and solar panels on some.
Maintenance: you maintain your own lawn and the outside of your home. The association does not.
Garages: most homes have a two-car attached garage.
Pets: pet rules are in the governing documents. Confirm them for the specific home.
Ask us for the governing documents before you write an offer.

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, with Sussex County and with the Town of Milton 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: Wagamons West Shore is inside the Town of Milton, so the tax bill has three parts: county, school and town. Sussex County reassessed every property recently, so older tax figures on a listing may not reflect what you will pay.
Help programs: Sussex County has property and school tax assistance programs for owners who qualify by age, income or disability.
Call 302-549-5164 and we will pull the recorded figures for the specific home you are considering.
