Welches Pond Homeowner Stories

"When we envisioned our dream home, it was about more than just bricks and mortar; we yearned for a sanctuary where memories would flourish. With its idyllic location and serene embrace of protected wetlands, Welches Pond beckoned us irresistibly. But it was Schell’s exceptional partnership that truly made this haven our forever home." -The Akgorens

"We are fortunate to have so many pleasant neighbors, including the friendly people we first met at the model home. It’s evident that the camaraderie stems from the comfortable setting and warm environment established by Schell Brothers from the start." -Ron & Michelle

"I am delighted that I chose Welches Pond. I love the tree-lined community, location between downtown Lewes and Rehoboth, and the friendly neighbors." -Susan
