Four Seasons at Baymont Farms

Four Seasons at Baymont Farms is K. Hovnanian's 288-home active adult 55+ community in Middletown, Delaware, developed under the builder's flagship Four Seasons brand. Construction began in 2019, and the community has been winding down its new-home sales phase — several listing sites now indicate the builder's inventory is effectively sold out, with most activity shifting to resale homes. For buyers focused on single-level, low-maintenance living in central-north Delaware, it remains one of the area's most amenity-rich options. Homes are single-family, single-story designs ranging from roughly 1,780 to 2,462 square feet with 3 bedrooms, 2 to 3 bathrooms, and two- or three-car garages. Floor plans include the Dorchester, St. Michaels, Lewes, Killarney I, Rockford, Mont Blanc, and Eastwood (with optional loft). Signature features across models include first-floor primary suites with walk-in closets and spa-style baths, open-concept kitchens with quartz counters and stainless appliances, gas fireplaces, screened-in or covered back porches, lawn irrigation, and — on many lots — full or finished basements. Many resale homes have been upgraded with solar, EV charging, whole-home water filtration, and finished lower levels. The centerpiece of community life is a 6,000-square-foot clubhouse anchored by a grand fireplace in the social lounge and bar, with a fitness center, aerobics studio, game room, billiard room, and card room. Outside, residents enjoy a resort-style pool with cabanas and tiki hut bar, pickleball courts, bocce courts, tennis, a patio and fire pit, and walking trails winding through preserved open space. A defining feature sets Baymont Farms apart from most Four Seasons communities: an on-site kayak launch and kayak storage on Drawyer Creek, which borders the community and gives residents immediate access to paddling the winding tidal waterway. A full-time lifestyle director programs clubs, classes, and social events year-round. The HOA handles lawn maintenance, snow removal, trash collection, and common-area upkeep, so residents get true lock-and-leave living. The setting is quiet and wooded around the creek, yet downtown Middletown — with its shops, restaurants, Westown Movies theater, and Mid County Lanes bowling — is minutes away. Wilmington and Dover are each about 30 minutes, Philadelphia and its international airport are under an hour, and the Delaware and Maryland beaches at Lewes, Rehoboth, and the Chesapeake are an easy day trip. Delaware's lack of a state sales tax and favorable retirement tax treatment add a financial tailwind that many buyers factor into the move.
