Harbeson Townhomes for Sale

Set among Sussex County's sprawling farmland, Harbeson is a small unincorporated community that embodies the rural charm of coastal Delaware. Located about 15 miles inland from Rehoboth Beach and Dewey Beach , Harbeson's 19951 postal code stretches east toward the shorelines of the Burton Prong, which feeds into the Rehoboth and Indian River bays. "Sussex County has everything: the beach, farm country and suburbia," says Lisa Mathena, Broker at The Lisa Mathena Group, Inc. "But prices change dramatically the farther west you go." Founded in the late 18th century by Harbeson Hickman, the community's landscape consists of a patchwork of generational farms and new subdivisions that offer residents more space and affordability. "Even inland, you can still live on the river or the bay, so you still get that coastal lifestyle without the oceanfront price tag," Mathena says. Residents can choose from suburban, rural or coastal landscapes, while surrounding communities offer access to shopping, dining and recreation. "Harbeson isn't as built up as the oceanfront, but it's a beautiful area where you can live freely without sacrificing amenities," Mathena says. Country roads are lined with farmhouses,
