Parks Edge at Bayberry

Parks Edge at Bayberry is a luxury 55+ active adult community in Middletown, Delaware, built by Blenheim Homes within the thriving Bayberry South master plan. Construction began in 2022, and at build-out the neighborhood will include approximately 210 customizable single-family homes tucked along the edge of a 70-acre central park — a rare setting for a 55+ community in the Mid-Atlantic. The defining feature of Parks Edge is its relationship to the park. The residents-only clubhouse complex sits inside the park itself, on the banks of an 11-acre kayaking and fishing lake. Homeowners step out their door to more than three miles of walking and biking trails, two dog parks, and acres of landscaped open space. The clubhouse delivers resort-style amenities: a pool and sundeck overlooking the lake, pickleball and bocce courts, a fitness center, a billiards room, and flexible event and club spaces used for happy hours, yoga classes, workshops, and interest groups. Homes are single-story and two-story designs ranging from roughly 1,376 to 3,200+ square feet, typically 2-3 bedrooms with 2 baths, though larger plans with lofts and unfinished basements are available. Floor plans feature open-concept layouts, modern kitchens with islands, premium flooring, and optional fireplaces. The HOA covers lawn maintenance and snow removal, so residents get true lock-and-leave living. Location is a major draw. The community sits directly across from the new 280,000 SF Bayberry Town Center, anchored by a Weis flagship grocery store with pharmacy, bakery, and fuel station, plus restaurants, banking, salons, and daily-conveniences retail — all walkable from the neighborhood. Downtown Middletown's Main Street (restaurants, cafes, breweries) is a short drive, and residents are within easy reach of Silver Lake Park, Frog Hollow Golf Club, Back Creek Golf Club, and Odessa National Golf Club. Wilmington sits about 20 miles north; Philadelphia International Airport is roughly 45 miles away. ChristianaCare and other regional healthcare providers are nearby. The area benefits from Delaware's favorable tax climate — no sales tax and no tax on Social Security income — which makes it especially attractive to retirees relocating from New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and New York.
