Lewes combines a walkable historic district along Second Street with Lewes Beach on the bay and Cape Henlopen State Park just to the east, while the Cape May-Lewes Ferry links the town to New Jersey. Many homes here are lived in through the off-season, which is one reason fireplaces show up so often in listings, whether wood-burning in older houses or gas units in newer neighborhoods west of town. Active Adults Realty works throughout the Cape Region and is familiar with Lewes housing from the canal-front streets to the communities along Route 9. The Lewes community guide has more, and homes with basements in Lewes is a related search.
