SUSSEX COUNTY, DE
Rehoboth Beach, DE Real Estate Apple Precision.
Rehoboth Beach is the signature resort town of the Delaware coast · a mile-long boardwalk, a walkable downtown on Rehoboth Avenue, the bandstand, and a restaurant scene that draws visitors from across the region. It began in 1873 as a Methodist camp meeting by the sea and grew into the town often called “The Nation's Summer Capital.”
The market runs from oceanfront and beach-block homes to in-town cottages, lakefront streets around Silver Lake and Lake Gerar, condos, and communities west of Route 1. Proximity to the beach and downtown, lot size, and rental use drive value.
Chantal Apple serves buyers and sellers in Rehoboth Beach, Sussex County, with the local knowledge and global reach of Atlantic Shores Sotheby's International Realty.
