Tower Hill
Tower Hill is the latest addition to Lewes, Delaware, a quaint seaside town situated at the mouth of the Delaware Bay. Although Lewes has roots going back to 1631, the newly constructed homes at Tower Hill will surely attract a new generation of townsfolk to the coastal community.
Developed by Carl M. Freeman Companies and built by K. Hovnanian Homes, Tower Hill consists of 292 single family homes, with lots ranging from 1/5 to ¼ acre and homes consisting of two to four bedrooms. Inside, 10-foot ceilings create open living areas, while some floor plans offer the option of screened patios and separate entertainment rooms. But the heart of the homes at Tower Hill are the gourmet kitchens, with granite countertops, stainless steel GE appliances, and a large island with pull up seating.
Of course, Tower Hill includes a community pool, tennis courts, putting green and a 6,000 square foot clubhouse, among other outdoor facilities that you’ve come to expect. But perhaps the biggest draw to Tower Hill is the surrounding community and the impressive selection of beaches at your doorstep.
Rehoboth Beach, Dewey Beach, and Bethany Beach draw visitors from across the Mid-Atlantic region, and Tower Hill is literally minutes away from all three. To avoid tourists, head to the lesser-known Lewes Beach, a true locals spot. When you tire of the sun and sand, enjoy the town of Lewes, which has a busy historic district with boutique shopping, fine dining, art galleries and cafes. You can also explore the delicate ecosystem surrounding Tower Hill by visiting the nearby Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge, Redden State Forest, or Cape Henlopen State Park.
The Delmarva Peninsula is known for its relaxed pace of life, unique ecosystems, and pleasant towns. Request more information to be part of it all at Tower Hill.
Woodside
Woodside is a master planned, lifestyle community located in Aiken, South Carolina, which was recently named Southern Living Magazine’s “2018 Best Small Town”, and received three other awards including “The South’s Friendliest Town”, “Second Best Food Town” and “Second Best Hotel”, which was awarded to the Willcox.
Aiken’s natural beauty, mild climate that attracts people from across the nation, strong connections to the outdoors through attractions like the 2,100 acre urban forest, Hitchcock Woods, and the cultural hub of the city, downtown Aiken all contributed to these awards. Our area is also home to six major medical providers, a college town setting that earned it Ideal-Living Magazine’s “Best College Town” in 2017, and a surprisingly low cost of living!
Woodside is Aiken’s only master-planned community. Amenities include more than 15 miles of hiking and nature trails, 3 onsite medical providers, 2 clubhouses, 4 golf courses, more than 60 member-led social groups and clubs, an abundance of landscaped parks and green space, and much more. Our dedicated team of professionals is on standby to answer your Woodside questions, or help you plan your Woodside Dream Visit to experience Woodside and Aiken for yourself.
The Isles of Collier Preserve
Nestled within a pristine natural setting just minutes from Downtown Naples, Florida’s preeminent new home builder is creating a colorful update of classic coastal living.

Los Reyes – Costa Rica
Ciudad-Hacienda Los Reyes is the most comprehensive gated residential community of the Central Valley, Costa Rica’s most important commercial, government, and cultural region.
Just off Route 27, Los Reyes has become one of the most sought-after communities, designed for those looking for a change in lifestyle that allows enjoying a countryside kind of life, with the benefits of a high-end resort. It has ample roads, manicured gardens, and a large variety of mature trees, which bloom during the summertime offering a beautiful natural showcase. A large variety of birds add to the sensation of living in the middle of the forest. It was the Central Valley’s best-kept secret before the construction of route 27 in 2009.
San José, the capital, is a 30-minute drive to the east; the Pacific Coast is 45 minutes to the west. Juan Santamaría International Airport is only 15 minutes away. Many of the newest shopping and entertainment centers, office parks, hotels, and health institutions are easily reached. Los Reyes now boasts a Shopping Center with 15 stores and a major supermarket chain, plus a well-known International School.

These comprise a golf course with a driving range, six lighted tennis courts, a fully-equipped clubhouse with restaurants, conference room, swimming pools, dressing rooms, saunas, jacuzzi, gym, playground areas, soccer, and even a picnic area with barbecue shelters in a lush wooded area.
