DEL WEBB IN DE | |
This is a late response to your question - but I have looked at the two mentioned above and also Spring Arbor. Spring Arbor is a small community but very very nice. Close to shopping and already has a clubhouse built. Homes are lovely. I am planning a second trip to that development in March. | |

DEL WEBB IN DELAWARE | |
Just went on the Del Webb website and didn't see anything about a new community coming into Lewes. Would love information on that. The tax structure for retirees in DE is nice. I saw Independence and Heritage Shores a few weeks ago. Independence is pretty expensive but very nice. Heritage Shores if further from shopping, etc. Anyone else know of any other developments in DE that they have seen? | |
