Baywood is a highly amenitized community of almost 350 homes located in Delaware's lower Sussex County near the intersection of Routes 23 and 24. Baywood is within minutes of Delaware's first city Lewes, the Tanger shopping outlets on Route 1 (having over 130 vendors), and Rehoboth Beach. Other coastal resort areas such as Dewey Beach, Bethany Beach, Fenwick Island, and Ocean City, MD, are only a short drive away.
 

Baywood offers neighborhood communities that share a mix of one- and two-story detached residences and townhome units ranging from 1700 square feet to over 3500 square feet. As of September, 2011, five phases of construction have been completed; a sixth is already 50% complete with six homes occupied; a seventh phase of townhomes and townhome/cottages has been launched, with one unit completed and already having its first occupants; and infrastructure for an eighth phase is already in place.

 

The Baywood community is anchored by the 18-hole, "exclusively public" golf course Baywood Greens, which in 2011, earned Golf Digest's "Best in State" designation as #1 in Delaware. A third loop of nine holes is nearing completion, with opening expected in early 2014.

 

Future growth plans at Baywood include construction of an equestrian center, a community shopping area and conference center, an aquatic center, tennis courts, and more than 1000 additional homes in a variety of configurations.

 

We invite you to learn more about our community and the possibilities of home ownership in Baywood by visiting the website of Signature Homes.

The Baywood Homeowners' Association (BHA) is a non-profit organization whose members share only the common bonds that they own homes in the Baywood community and desire to maintain and improve the community in which they've chosen to live.

 

As our Bylaws state, our purposes are to "promote both civic and social activities, to encourage the membership to maintain and improve the quality of life in the Baywood Community, and to provide representation, input and information on any environmental concerns, legislative matters, and any other matters that may be of interest to the membership." The complete BHA Bylaws are available for inspection (184K PDF).

 

Mary Ellen Daly has prepared an attractive new resident handout (2MB PDF) that we distribute to residents when they first move into the community, that can tell you more about the BHA and what we do.

 

  

 

If you are a home owner in Baywood we invite you to join the Baywood Homeowners Association. BHA membership fees are $12/year for an adult resident and one other adult residing at the same address; the membership period runs from April 16 to April 15.

 

How can you Join? Follow this link to fill out an online registration form with your contact information, incuding your Baywood address. We'll check against our resident database and send instructions on how you can complete the application process.

 

Members of the BHA receive the Blue Heron newsletter (published 3 times per year) and have access (both online and in print) to a list of residents with contact information. Certain pages of this website are restricted to BHA members only via registered login.

 

BHA does not charge late renewal fees, but access to the Members-only pages of the website and delivery of the Blue Heron will be suspended, voting privileges will be suspended, and certain event fees may increase until your renewal is received. All membership dues ($12/year per household of two adults) should be sent via check made out to BHA to one of the Membership Committee co-chairs: Dianne Keough (24956 Crooked Stick Way) or Geri Airey (32347 Apron Way).
