Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This Route 16 convenience-store and mixed-use site sits on approximately 0.65 acre and includes a 975± SF solid concrete/masonry building (built in 1990). The construction type is well suited to durable roadside retail, service, garage, storage, and related uses, and the property has historically been marketed for garage, small-engine repair, and store use.

Public records identify the parcel as AR-1 with commercial land use. The location is positioned between established fuel/convenience destinations, with the nearest major options approximately 3.1 miles west (Royal Farms and Exxon) and Milton Quick Stop approximately 3.7 miles east toward Milton. Nearby residential growth includes Captain’s Way, a 301-lot community with homes along Northstar Drive approximately 0.5 mile from the property.

The property previously had a single-wide manufactured home. Sussex County AR-1 zoning regulations permit a qualifying manufactured home to be used as a detached single-family dwelling on an individual lot, subject to applicable county requirements and approvals. Buyers should independently verify all zoning, septic, well, entrance, fuel-system, and other required approvals for any re-establishment or combined residential and commercial use.

Key Highlights

  • Approximately 0.65‑acre site with a 975± SF solid concrete/masonry building
  • Built in 1990
  • AR‑1 zoning with commercial land use per public records
