WHY ITWORKED: The first Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course master planned community to open in Delaware, Bayside enjoys brisk sales because of its proximity to Ocean City, Md., a popular beach town.
- Just three to five hours from Washington and Richmond, Va., to the south and New York City to the north, the waterfront resort project attracts families as well as second-home buyers.
- The community features 25 floor plans —a number unmatched in the area—including condos, townhomes, single-family homes, and estate homes.
- Amenities will include five community centers with outdoor pools, a resort health facility, a tennis center, a pier and canoe landing area, miles of hiking, biking, and nature trails, and an environmental center. More than 287 acres of the property have been set aside in a conservation area.
- Three architectural styles offer buyers a choice of folk Victorian, shingle, and colonial revival and give the community a timeless beach-architecture vernacular.
