Bayside, a resort-style community in Selbyville, Delaware, was developed around Assawoman Bay's salt marshland and loblolly pine forests starting in 2005. The neighborhood features a Jack Nicklaus Signature golf course, contemporary-style clubhouses, and a private beach popular for catch-and-release crabbing. The Freeman Arts Pavilion, an outdoor concert venue, hosts performances by well-known artists, adding to the local attractions. Bayside’s homes, built between 2010 and 2022, include Craftsman-style houses, mid-rise condos, Colonial Revival townhouses, and shingle-style twin houses. The area is in a high-risk flood zone, but flood insurance is not mandatory. The community has four outdoor pools, with Sun Ridge being the most popular, and a Health and Aquatic Club with a fitness center and lap pool. Bayside Marketplace, located at the neighborhood's entryway, includes a Harris Teeter grocery store and locally owned restaurants like Blue Scoop and Fox’s Pizza Restaurant and Bar. Children attend highly rated schools: Phillip C. Showell Elementary, Selbyville Middle, and Indian River High School. Bayside is safer than the national average and offers convenient access to Delaware Route 20, U.S. Route 113, and U.S. Route 50, making Washington D.C. and Baltimore a 130-mile drive west. The nearest hospital, Beebe Healthcare’s South Coastal Emergency Department, is 7 miles north, and Salisbury Regional Airport is 30 miles northwest.
