Yes — 2023 is a game changer. Here at Seabrook, we always hear our neighbors and buyers joke that they wish they didn’t have to leave. Our team has spent the last several years working to make living here on a full-time basis easier than ever. Now it’s coming to life. Take a look at what Casey Roloff, Town Co-founder and CEO, has to share on all the exciting updates coming to Seabrook.
When Laura and I were finishing college, we couldn’t wait to leave the city and to hear the roar of the ocean and smell the salty air every day. While so many people were only able to visit the beach a couple times a year, we wanted to make the ocean and sandy beaches our home. That was 28 years ago and the call of the ocean has only become stronger for us–we are not sure what life would be like otherwise.
While we were living our dream, we, along with our incredible team, have been making it possible for many others to live their dream by the ocean with our new town of Seabrook. While some believe Seabrook is only a vacation town, that is not how we have been approaching it. When we say we are building a town, we really mean it! A place where you can live in a dynamic environment and also have the urban comforts within walking distance.
About 15% of Seabrook’s population are full-time owners who are truly pioneers! Before a lot of our basic needs were fulfilled, they made Seabrook their home and filled the gaps creatively.
However, in 2023 the dream of living in Seabrook gets a whole lot easier with so many of our efforts coming to fruition. Here is what makes Seabrook more livable than ever:
- Connectivity – To allow reliable remote work, we are committed to working with our local providers, both high-speed wireless internet service and fiber optics, in our Fernwood Neighborhood. In the near future our local cable company is planning to bring fiber to the entire town. Note: Fiber Optics is already in Seabrook, but looking to distribute that town-wide through existing conduits.
- Seabrook Shuttle – Our new 15-passenger Mercedes Sprinter Van will allow anyone needing to be in the office a couple days a week convenient access to Seattle.
- North Beach Montessori School – We are excited to soon open the pre-registration for fall of 2023-2024 school year.
- Urgent Care/Wellness Clinic – This has been fully funded and construction starts in 2023 and is expected to be completed by year’s end.
- New Fitness Center –Fully equipped gym facility, 25-yard lap pool, large hot tub in the South Farm neighborhood.
- Trails, trails and more trails – We continue to expand our incredible network of trails through our coastal forest with over 50% of our land in open space and an additional 600 acres of public land adjacent to Seabrook. We currently have over 24 miles of walking and biking trails and we are eager to add more each year.
- Grocery Store – A 13,000 square foot gourmet grocery (about the size of a Trader Joe’s) with fresh produce, butcher, deli, and all the comforts of your favorite local store.
- Vista Bakery Expansion – Vista Bakeshop’s expansion is currently under construction, hosted in the space next to the original bakeshop. The expansion is projected to be complete in late January. They are thrilled to bring a bread program to Seabrook along with cafe favorites like sandwiches and more.
- Frontager’s Pizza Co. Expansion – Frontager’s Pizza has just completed the expansion of Frontager’s Social with new menu items and a relaxed atmosphere in the new space.
- Blue – The new salad and juice bar makes it easy to eat healthy at the beach and 2023 will be its first summer open.
- Barber Shop – An old-fashioned barbershop with a speakeasy feel is coming to town.
- Arcade – A retro-style arcade with a focus on all the favorite games of the 80’s is set to open in summer 2023 on Front Street.
If you are a dreamer and attracted to Seabrook’s laid back coastal lifestyle, the timing has never been better to make the move and be a Seabrook Local.
