If a home could be compared to a favorite dessert, the surrounding amenities would be the icing on the cake, adding a big dollop of extra happiness. And, when it comes to amenities, Brentwood serves up a triple scoop of indoor and outdoor adventures.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With an authentic nod to nature, Brentwood<\/a> dishes out a remarkable lifestyle in unmatched surroundings. \u201cThis community captures your attention from the first 20 seconds of beauty you see as you drive in,\u201d said Community Sales Manager, Alli Perry. \u201cThe designers maximized every feature, ensuring that most homes back to either trees or ponds, with nice spacing in between.\u201d Everything is meticulously cared for by an HOA that includes lawn care, snow removal, and\u00a0 common area maintenance, giving residents more time to relax with family and friends.<\/p>\n\n\n

And Brentwood<\/a> makes it easy for families to enjoy that carefree lifestyle. With 13 sparkling ponds and an abundance of trees, Brentwood<\/a> is the only new home community in the area to offer a full menu of activities that include indoor and outdoor pickleball courts, a pool with patio area, a splash pad, a sports field, a clubhouse, and so much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The community is proof that a solid foundation lays the groundwork for incredible experiences. \u201cBrentwood <\/a>began with a stunning piece of property,\u201d explained Community Sales Manager, Tarah Scarborough. The 100-acre site comprises a scenic collection of trees and ponds, inviting designers to craft a neighborhood that is seamlessly tucked into nature. Winding streets and innovative homesite configurations were artfully sculpted to complement exterior facades, maximize views, and enhance the overall living environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“After months of searching and deciding to look more deeply into Lewes, we visited many communities.

In addition to creating an attractive home environment, the distinctive landscape complements the resort-style amenities, setting Brentwood<\/a> apart from other communities in the Lewes area. \u201cAlthough we offer many styles of beautiful homes, our amenities have been the main draw, and everyone is excited that they will be completed soon,\u201d Tarah explained.

A drive around the area made it clear that Brentwood<\/a> is much more than a gorgeous setting with a plethora of amenities. The community is ideally located within minutes of popular restaurants such as Grain on the Rocks<\/a>, Heirloom<\/a>, and Irish Eyes Pub<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s not just about having good food nearby,\u201d Alli noted. \u201cA lot of restaurants have gorgeous views that make even a casual dinner feel like a little getaway.
