Background

Colonial East has been serving the Delaware Shore for more than 42 years by providing a modern, attractive manufactured housing community in Rehoboth Beach. The vision of an affordable housing opportunity at the shore for year-round and vacation homes became a reality as Colonial East opened in the summer of 1973 and began serving the community by offering a viable housing alternative. The dream, initiated by partners, Warren L. Class, along with brothers Norbert and Raymond Paszkiewicz, has flourished and grown as additional communities were subsequently developed. Sussex East was born in the mid-eighties, and her sister community, Sussex West was born approximately 10 years later. While Colonial East and Sussex East are now fully developed, Sussex West, the premier 55+ community is currently in the final phase of development. These highly sought-after communities, with on-location management by Colonial East, LP, offer quiet neighborly lifestyles in well-maintained communities and a quality housing alternative for those desiring a home at the Delaware Shore. Their vision lives on and is bound in tradition and the legacy that only a family owned and operated business can grant. Both of Warren’s sons, Mark and Stevan, continue to be active in community operations and land development. Ryan Class, Warren’s grandson & Stevan’s son, is quite proud to be able to continue the tradition of providing quality housing at the shore & opened the doors to further community needs as Bayside Homes was born. New homes for all three communities are available exclusively through Bayside Homes which has grown and now serves the community in many additional capacities including single-family homes through-out the area and also prime beach-front homes along inland waterways and the Delaware Shore. Ryan, a licensed real estate agent, can serve his clients no matter what their needs or desires may include. In fact, most members of the Bayside Homes Team are licensed real estate agents which enable a more complete service to all they serve. We are happy to state that all management & staff are active, not only in the business of community and housing, but also involvement with other civic, trade, and social organizations to keep abreast of industry needs and trends and vital regional needs. All look forward to serving your housing needs at the fabulous Delaware Shore for many years to come.
