Mallard Lakes Townhome Community

One of the best kept secrets in the Fenwick Island area.

Mallard Lakes is an older community made up of two story townhomes surrounding several lakes. Each home has a screened porch that backs up to one of the lakes. While the community had been around for several years it is maintained in exquisite condition.

The homes in Mallard Lakes are two-story 2-bedroom, 1.5-bath townhomes. The first floors have a living room and dining area, well-equipped kitchen and half bath, as well as the Florida room with a view of a lake. The second floor has two bedrooms and full bath.

The Overlook Homes & Community

A West Fenwick Boutique Resort Community

This new community, The Overlook, is just west of Fenwick Island on the north side of Route 54. It is located in Sussex County, Delaware and is in the Indian River School District. With NV Homes doing the building and sales, this development has become quite popular with its bayside/waterfront amenities and beautiful houses. Is is now “old enough,” however, that occasional resales are taking place.

However, Sadly…

Sadly, the “ghost” of this fox looks down on where his home used to be – before the bulldozers decimated his home while clearing land for The Overlook. Yes, this exact fox – was photographed just about where that first house is located – while this photographer stood where “The Overlook” sign is located. (A 300mm telephoto lens was used to capture the photo.)
This fox was part of a large community of foxes with many burrows, or dens, throughout this (what used to be) farmland. The underground dens provided cooling in the summer and a warm place in winter and were a good place for the vixens (female fox) to raise their young, like the little dude in the photo above. Sadly, the bulldozers made quick work of crushing the dens and exterminating the fox families.

There are great choices for dining right along Route 54 and, of course, in Fenwick Island.
