Sussex County Neighborhood Links & Resources
When you build a Lessard home, we can build your future home on ANY LOT without a pre-established builder tie-in. While many of our clients choose lots that are not within residential developments, an equal portion choose the amenities and luxuries of community living. We believe that a part of what makes Delaware so special is the feeling of community no matter where you choose to live. Our team is proud to have built homes throughout Delaware and we are equally proud to live in Delaware.
Below you will find a list of the communities we are currently building within, and, a list of our Lessard team’s favorite places to eat, relax and enjoy Delaware to it’s fullest:

Casapulla’s is a sub shop that brings your stomach back to the good old days of sandwiches stuffed with meats and cheeses and seasoned to perfection.

What can we say, our model home is one of our favorite places to visit in Coastal DE.

Crooked Hammock Brewery
36707 Crooked Hammock Way, Lewes DE
www.crookedhammockbrewery.com
The Crooked Hammock is an incredible new addition to the Delaware beach scene. Built in late 2015, this restaurant and beer garden mashup are a great place for a meal and a drink. The Hammock brews roughly a dozen of their own (delicious) beers and in our opinion makes some of the best burgers this side of the Mississippi! The restaurant also has a huge outdoor section with corn-hole boards, rocking chairs and ping pong tables which make it a great place for relaxing on a sunny day. Crooked Hammock is definitely one of our favorite beach watering holes.
Arena’s Deli and Bar
17314 N. Village Main Blvd, Lewes DE
http://www.arenasdeliandbar.com/
A Lessard lunch favorite! Arena’s was founded by a group of Delawareans over a decade ago with the idea of being a deli where all food made fresh in house. Their sandwich menu and appetizers are truly a delight for hungry beachgoers. ‘The Betty’ is one of the most delicious takes on grilled cheese that we have ever eaten, their ‘Hungry Kayaker’ sandwich is incredible with turkey and roast beef that tastes fresh out of the oven every single time and their Cajun Chicken Cheesesteak just plain rocks. Oh, and one last thing, go for the mozzarella sticks.
Cape Henlopen State Park
15099 Cape Henlopen Drive
Cape Henlopen State Park website
Public beaches- check. Camping grounds- check. Fishing pier- check. Hiking trails- check. Scenic views- check. Minutes from the boardwalk- check. If you like to be outdoors, consider checking out Cape Henlopen State Park ASAP; it is one of the East Coast’s truest gems and one of Delaware’s best places to enjoy some sunshine! There are so many beautiful sights and incredible places to explore that we could never do Cape Henlopen justice. This vast state park was once home to a military installation, so it’s also full of barracks and history for history buffs. It is also just a one or two minute drive from the Cape May Lewes Ferry.
