Talk to a Specialist →As K. Hovnanian releases each new phase, base pricing typically steps up. Buyers who wait for a “better deal” in a later phase are usually buying a smaller lot at a higher price, not a bargain.
Water-adjacent and premium-position lots can add tens of thousands of dollars over base pricing. Get the actual premium in writing for the specific lot you want before falling in love with a floor plan.
At 1,200+ planned homes, buyers in early phases should expect ongoing construction traffic, noise, and dust for several years as later phases build out. This is the trade-off for being an early buyer at lower base pricing.
Early residents sometimes pay a lower HOA before all amenities are finished, with increases as clubhouse phases, pools, and infrastructure come fully online. Ask what’s built versus planned before assuming today’s fee is permanent.
Unlike Heritage Shores or The Peninsula, The Estuary has no golf course. If golf is central to your retirement plan, this is not your community — compare those two instead.
As one of the newer large-scale communities in the corridor, resale inventory is smaller than at older communities like Heritage Shores. Expect fewer resale choices in any given month, though this is changing as the community matures.
Sections with bay adjacency genuinely offer water views and easier boating/fishing access — this is one of the few tangible differentiators versus inland Millsboro-area competitors like Del Webb Millsboro.
