Rehoboth has a real contemporary tradition, which sets it apart from most of the Delaware coast. North Shores and the streets in North Rehoboth hold houses from the 1960s through the 1980s built with flat or shed roofs, cedar siding and large glazed walls oriented toward light and dune views. Newer work continues the idea with cleaner detailing and better glass. Many use the reverse or upside-down plan, placing the main living room on the upper floor to capture the view. Bryce Lingo & Shaun Tull has represented these houses for years. See a nearby community at North Shores.
