A gated 280-home age-targeted community in Frankford, Delaware — between Bethany Beach and Selbyville. Houses and attached condos from $300K–$500K, wooded setting, gated entrance. One of only two gated 55+-oriented communities in Sussex County.
Forest Landing at Bethany Beach sits in Frankford, Delaware — a small inland community located between Bethany Beach (approximately 5–7 miles east) and Selbyville. The community is gated, which is one of only two such designations in the broader Sussex County 55+-oriented market (Windstone in Milton is the other). The wooded setting gives it a different physical character from the open-land developments common in the Millsboro corridor.
Both houses and attached condo-style homes are available, offering buyers a choice between single-family detached ownership and lower-maintenance attached living. Resale and some new construction phases are both available.
Buyers who specifically want a gated community have limited options in the coastal Delaware 55+ market. Forest Landing and Windstone in Milton are the two consistently identified gated options. What a gated community provides: a controlled entry point that limits through-traffic, a visible security feature that some buyers find reassuring, and a community character that some residents prefer. What it does not provide: meaningfully more security than ungated communities in this low-crime rural Sussex County market. The gated entry is a lifestyle and preference factor more than a safety necessity.
