Bayview Landing, a Residential Community

An established community in West Fenwick on Route 54.

Bayview Landing is a comfortable community close to the beach, Fenwick Island and Ocean City. The community is geographically two miles from the Atlantic Ocean – making it wonderfully convenient for beach-goers yet far enough inland to be protected from severe coastal storms.

The community consists of groups of townhome “villas” and many individual single-family homes. The main amenity is a beautiful, well-maintained pool and clubhouse. Homeowners are responsible for their own lawn care which is good because the homes typically have larger yards than in communities where lawn care is part of the community association duties (and, resultant, higher fees).

The Grove at Fenwick Island New Homes

The Grove development replaced a large grove of wetlands trees.

Another of the new(er) developments in the West Fenwick area is The Grove, a community of “carriage homes” along the Route 54 corridor. This community of 59 beautiful townhome designs is located convenient to the beach, to Ocean City and to nearby food stores and restaurants. The Builder’s website mentions “minutes away” – and that is not far off. We experience about 10 minutes to the beach – except on Saturday in the summer when traffic grinds to a halt.

The community offers a variety of home styles with varying levels of amenities.

The Grove Mulch Pile Graphic — The Grove actually replaces what was a large grove of trees in a wetlands area. A ton of money was spent to cut down hundreds of trees and grind them into mulch – to make room for these new carriage homes/townhomes.

Countless loads of “fill” was brought in to raise the land. Our worry is what may happen several years down the road – as the substrate changes because of the changes that were made to the surface. It might lead one to recall that the City of New Orleans was not below sea level when it was built.

Royal Farms on Route 54

Royal Farms Gas Station and Convenience Store in West Fenwick

If you need gas for your car or some killer fried chicken this Royal Farms Gas Station and Convenience Store is about as convenient as can be. No matter where you live in West Fenwick this should be within minutes of your home. If you happen to buy one of the new Seashore Villas town homes it is, literally, right across the street. In fact, depending on which way the breeze blows, you may be able to smell each new batch as it gets finished. LOL
