J.S. Hovnanian’s first and only Delaware community — 470 award-winning ranch-style 2 and 3-bedroom homes in Felton, between Dover and Milford. Resale only. Built from the early 2000s onward, now fully built out. Entry prices started in the low $200Ks. 55 minutes to Rehoboth Beach, directly adjacent to the Chesapeake Bay Bridge corridor.
Roesville is J.S. Hovnanian’s flagship Delaware community — and their first community in the state, which earned them significant recognition. J.S. Hovnanian is a separate entity from K. Hovnanian, building a more traditional ranch-style product with a different design DNA. The 470 homes are all single-story ranch style with 2 and 3-bedroom configurations, built for the practical needs of active adults who want single-level living without a second-floor primary suite option.
Felton is a small Delaware town in Kent County, positioned between Dover (20 minutes north) and Milford (15 minutes south). It is not on any tourist map, which is precisely what some buyers want — a real rural Delaware town where the resident population is year-round and the community character is stable. Rehoboth Beach is approximately 55 minutes east via Route 13 to Route 1.
Roesville is for the buyer who wants a stable, fully-built resale 55+ community in rural Kent County at the lowest price point in the Delaware 55+ market outside of manufactured housing. Entry-level resale, single-story ranch style, award-winning original construction quality, and Felton’s quiet character. It is not for buyers who want new construction, beach proximity within 30 minutes, or a large resort amenity package.
Resale-only means inspection-first. We can connect you with a Delaware specialist who knows this community well.
