55-plus active-adult community offers a built-in lifestyle at the beach
Located minutes from Cape Henlopen State Park, Lewes and Rehoboth Beach, Independence is aptly named. There are so many activities on site that residents in this Schell Brothers community can go for days without getting in the car. From fitness classes to pickleball to simply sunning by the pool, this dynamic community offers a roster of resort-like activities. Not only are these amenities appealing,
but they also give residents the opportunity to socialize and make new friends.
Because Independence’s amenities are already in place, you need only move into your new home to start enjoying them and meeting new people, says Mollie Stevenson, the community sales manager. The community keeps an online up-to-date calendar that residents can access at any time. “There is so much you can get involved in!” she says. “You can join the weekly happy hours, participate in game night or take a yoga, Pilates, Tai Chi or dance class.”
Activities don’t slow down when the summer season ends. At Independence, there is something to do with friends every day – all year long.
Meet and Greet
Independence is the only 55-plus active-adult community close to the beach. Whether you want to enjoy a more relaxed lifestyle, embrace the social scene or create lasting friendships, Independence offers it all. Because Independence was created just for active adults, the social hub of the community is the spacious 24,000-square-foot clubhouse, which has won awards for its design.
Mark you calendars for May 7, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., when Schell Brothers will hold a Spring Spectacular event with tours of the clubhouse. Meet the residents and see all the activities that are being offered here. Along with the fitness center, the clubhouse has a card room, bar and ballroom. Play a game of horseshoes or billiards, practice golf on the putting green, play tennis and pickleball or take a swim. There are both indoor and outdoor pools.
In addition to the activities organized by an onsite director, new friends and neighbors have created their own clubs on such topics as gardening, art and books.
