What Forest Landing Is

Forest Landing at Bethany Beach sits in Frankford, Delaware — a small inland community located between Bethany Beach (approximately 5–7 miles east) and Selbyville. The community is gated, which is one of only two such designations in the broader Sussex County 55+-oriented market (Windstone in Milton is the other). The wooded setting gives it a different physical character from the open-land developments common in the Millsboro corridor.

Both houses and attached condo-style homes are available, offering buyers a choice between single-family detached ownership and lower-maintenance attached living. Resale and some new construction phases are both available.

Age-targeted, not strictly 55+ age-restricted — verify current HOA age policyForest Landing is marketed to active adults but carries an age-targeted rather than strict age-restricted designation. Confirm the current community age rules before purchasing if a neighbor-age guarantee matters to you.

The Gated Distinction

Buyers who specifically want a gated community have limited options in the coastal Delaware 55+ market. Forest Landing and Windstone in Milton are the two consistently identified gated options. What a gated community provides: a controlled entry point that limits through-traffic, a visible security feature that some buyers find reassuring, and a community character that some residents prefer. What it does not provide: meaningfully more security than ungated communities in this low-crime rural Sussex County market. The gated entry is a lifestyle and preference factor more than a safety necessity.
