Talk to a Specialist →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.
