K. Hovnanian operates two Four Seasons communities in Delaware: Four Seasons at The Estuary in Millsboro and Bayside in Selbyville. Same brand, different products. This guide explains what the Four Seasons brand delivers, how the two communities differ, and how Delaware’s Four Seasons locations compare to the broader national brand.
K. Hovnanian Homes has developed the Four Seasons brand as its dedicated active adult platform — a national series of 55+ communities that share certain brand commitments: resort-style amenities, dedicated lifestyle programming, age-restricted governance, and K. Hovnanian’s construction standards. The brand operates communities across more than a dozen states, with particularly strong presence in Florida, New Jersey, Maryland, and the Mid-Atlantic.
What the Four Seasons brand delivers consistently: a dedicated Lodge or clubhouse with indoor and outdoor pools, fitness center, and organized activities programming managed by a full-time Lifestyle Director. What varies by location: golf access, waterfront proximity, community scale, and HOA fee structure. Delaware’s two Four Seasons locations are both active new-construction communities as of 2025–2026.
K. Hovnanian’s Delaware Four Seasons communities offer single-family detached and attached villa plans. The floor plan library at both Delaware locations emphasizes first-floor primary suites, open-concept kitchen and great room combinations, and covered outdoor living spaces appropriate for year-round use in the Delaware climate.
| Plan Type | Size Range | Bedrooms | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Villa / Attached | 1,400–1,800 sq ft | 2–3 | Lower entry price point; shared wall; verify specific availability |
| Ranch / Single-Story | 1,600–2,400 sq ft | 2–3 | Most popular; all living on one level; first-floor primary suite |
| Two-Story (main-floor primary) | 2,200–3,200 sq ft | 3–4 | First-floor primary suite; flex room options; larger footprint |
| Premium / Estate | 2,600–3,500+ sq ft | 3–4 | On larger lots or premium positions; highest price tier |
Floor plan availability changes as new construction phases open and close. Verify current plan availability and pricing directly with K. Hovnanian sales at each Delaware location before making any plan-based assumptions. Resale homes at earlier phases may offer plans that are no longer in the new construction catalog.
K. Hovnanian operates Four Seasons communities across the Mid-Atlantic, including locations in New Jersey, Maryland, and other states. Buyers evaluating the Delaware communities against locations they have toured elsewhere should note: Delaware’s Sussex County property tax rates are lower than nearly every other Four Seasons market in the Mid-Atlantic region. The combination of K. Hovnanian’s product with Delaware’s tax structure is a unique combination in the brand’s portfolio.
Buyers who are specifically loyal to the Four Seasons brand and are evaluating New Jersey locations against The Estuary or Bayside should run the county-by-county property tax comparison explicitly. The annual property tax savings for a comparable home in Sussex County versus most NJ Four Seasons locations runs $6,000–$10,000 — a significant factor in the 10-year cost picture.
