Bayville Shores is a 92-acre residential community comprised of 332 multi-family residences offering views and access to internal waterways and the Little Assawoman Bay.  Neighborhood “fingers” were created so as to position the built community between natural wetlands and the man-made waterways linking the community and providing recreational opportunities such as fishing, crabbing, and bird watching.  Residences range from 2 to 3 stories, and offer a variety of configurations with 3 to 4 bedroom options.

Unique to Bayville Shores is the flexibility built into the ultimate design of each eight-unit building.  Eight different unit plans and several variations of them have been created, each interchangable based upon stairway configuration.  This approach allows the sales team to virtually contract the units first, allowing the building’s design to evolve accordingly.  The result is one where few buildings are identical, thus avoiding a “cookie cutter” sameness typical of many such projects.

 The community includes swimming and tennis amenities, bird observation posts, storage facilities and jogging/bicycle paths.  Man-made ponds were created for stormwater management and recreation and to provide waterfront exposure for all residences.  A regional wastewater pump station provides wastewater service to the community and adjacent properties.  On-site wastewater collection was sized to allow extension to future off-site development.  Environmentally sensitive site planning was required to preserve federal and state wetlands as open space.

Davis, Bowen & Friedel, Inc. provided the sales and development teams with an array of comprehensive services essential to the successful execution of such large scale projects.
