Want the inside scoop on The Ridings, Schell Brothers’ newest single family community? Time is quickly approaching for the opening of our brand new Heron model and I couldn’t be more thrilled. The Heron has yet to built in any community so we’re anxious to hear what you think. Hint: we love it.
Meet the Team
Not only are we excited about the new model, but I’m proud to announce that I will be heading up the sales team at The Ridings! As a veteran Schell Brothers employee, I’ve been the sales associate at our 55 and better community at Independence for about a year and I have absolutely enjoyed my experience. Now I’m thrilled to be leading the team at The Ridings, where I’ll be working with Jordan Gorsch. Jordan’s knowledge, experience, and bubbly personality make her a great addition to The Ridings.
Be Among the First to Tour the New Heron Model
The Heron is still under construction, but you can really see it coming together. The construction teams have been busy like elves and they’re putting the final touches on their masterpiece this week. Our fabulous interior designer is working around the clock to make it perfect before the doors open in the coming days.
Take Advantage of Pre-Construction Prices
The most exciting news of all is that we have four new homeowners even before our model is officially open! That’s right, we are pre-selling, so if you’re interested in becoming a happy homeowner at The Ridings, please give me a call or stop by the community and see for yourself. From the moment you enter The Ridings, you’ll get a real sense of the pleasant established neighborhood. Homes are situated on private, ½ acre sites that are neatly manicured, creating a striking curb appeal.
Jordan and I look forward to meeting you!
In case you missed my last blog, let me sum it up for you. I moved from the big city in Washington, DC to what I call “Paradise”, meaning the beaches of Delaware. A year later, I’m Beltway-free and loving life at the beach.
I’ve spent the past year acclimating myself to the area and have discovered that I don’t miss anything I left behind. The bottom line is that I have found the most incredible restaurants, the best tax-free shopping, unique farmers’ markets with the freshest of produce, a familiar brewery within a few minutes of my house, fairs and festivals every weekend, kayaking, sunset beach walking, state parks, fishing, golfing, lavender farms, quaint towns, movies on the lawn, surf fishing, and much, much more. Having all this while I’m still working, I can’t imagine what I will find when I retire here!
As a professional living in the Northern Virginia/Washington DC metro area for the past 10 years, life was good in many ways. For those of you who are familiar with living in that area, there are many things to do and see in addition to delicious places to eat. The employment and cultural opportunities are good and I truly thought I was living. But let’s face it, getting from point A to point B can be stressful. If you have ever driven the Capital Beltway or Rt. 66, you know what I’m talking about.
About 7 years after living the “Good Life” I began to tire of the rat race and commuting an hour morning and night when I worked 14 miles from home! I was in dire need of a break. I began a search for a place where I could get away from it all but not so far that it would require more that a weekend trip. I thought of Virginia Beach, Ocean City, the Shenandoah Mountains, and everything in between. Then a co-worker mentioned a place called Lewes, Delaware. DELAWARE? I thought to myself as I scratched my head, wondering if my co-worker had been having happy hour on his lunch break. What the heck is in Delaware?
I immediately went to my computer and did an Internet search of Lewes, DE and the following weekend I plugged in the address of a local hotel into my GPS and off I went to explore unknown territory. My trip took me through rural areas with nothing but cornfields, soybean fields, and dairy farms and I found myself enjoying the scenery. For a change, I was not experiencing a white-knuckle trip on the beltway. Yet, although my goal was to escape the city, I didn’t think I was ready for the country life. Two and half hours later, I arrived at my destination. At that moment my life changed. I was in a place that immediately felt like “home”. I knew in my heart and mind that I had been called to this magical place called Lewes, DE. The streets were lined with quaint shops that offer everything from A to Z. The people were genuinely friendly, and happy to have me visit their town. I could go on and on about my weekend in what I would call “paradise” , but to make my long story short. I do believe in love at first sight. I have since left the hustle and bustle of the city behind me and moved to “Paradise”. Now my life here is simple and stress-free. I no longer drive on beltways, but on quaint streets and pleasant roads. If you want a taste of Paradise, come to DELAWARE!
