Baywood is a highly amenitized community of almost 375 homes located in Delaware's lower Sussex County near the intersection of Routes 5, 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 around 1700 square feet to slightly over 3500 square feet. As of early 2022, five phases of construction have been completed; a sixth is essentially completed; and several townhome/cottages and single family homes have been constructed and are occupied in a seventh and eighth phases of the community.  A ninth phase is now under development.

 

Baywood Homes, LLC staffs a Sales office at the Route 24 entrance, and is the sales agent for all new homes in the community.  As licensed realtors, they also manage a portfolio of pre-owned homes.

 

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.  More recently in 2018, Baywood Greens was mentioned on The Golf Channel as "a must-play."  Golf Advisor ranked Baywood Greens as #1 in Delaware in both 2017 and 2019, with its 2019 ranking Baywood Greens as #18 on Golf Advisor's Top 20 golf courses in the U.S.

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 improve the community in which they've chosen to live.

 

As our Bylaws state, our purposes are to "promote community and social activities, to provide representation, input and information on community issues, environmental concerns, legislative matters and any other matters that may be of interest to all residents, and to encourage Association Members and residents to maintain and improve the quality of life in the Baywood community." The complete BHA Bylaws are available for inspection (as amended, January, 2025).

 

 

Mary Ellen Daly has prepared an attractive, new resident handout (1.8MB 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.
