If a person had no money limit, is looking for a smalll town (not that small) including beauty, walkabililty, and best downtown. Where are the top five places you would pick for them?
If I had all the money I needed, I’d move to North Wilmington. The people are amazing, the natural scenes are beautiful, the food and drinks in town are great. So many things to do. Easy access to I-95 north to go to Philly games and airport for trips, take south bound to go down state to visit the beautiful beaches and fun beach towns. The History here is rich and the historic parts are a must to visit! Never gets old for me. I’m 28, I was born here and will likely die here. I pray that my state always stays tax free and not overpriced so others can come and see how decent it is here.
Good sir, I'll have to toss out Newark as a great suggestion as well. Cooch's Bridge Battlefield, located near Old Baltimore Pike, is the only known battlefield in Delaware from the Revolutionary War. Also with White Clay Creek State Park, and various other parks located relatively close you have numerous walking trails & bike paths. Main Street also offers alot of various restaurants & business to check out. If you prefer it to be less crowded though, then I recommend a Summer time visit, when many of the University students are on break.
I’m moving with my wife to Delaware after my military contract we Loved it and we want to buy a house there it’s calm we haven’t decided the area but we are considering Dover or Frederica since my wife’s uncle live there .
@@Living-in-Delaware Thank you and I appreciate it so much and I liked Dover and it has many restaurants and not too crowed and the mall was pretty empty hardly any traffic and I want a fresh start and I love the fact there is no sales tax and I liked Frederica because it’s quite and chill and I know my wife’s uncle there so we will be close to family .
@@Living-in-Delaware That’s probably what I was thinking I fell in love with it I’m currently in NY state and I can’t wait too leave and go to Delaware and does it get a lot of snow Delaware ?!
I live in Millsboro and It’s the biggest growing town in DE with a lot of people coming from NY and NJ. I moved here myself 10 years ago from NJ because taxes were outrageous. I’m surprised it’s not on this list. It’s a town that is bordered by the bay, and is close to the beach, but far enough away to avoid route 1 traffic in the summer. It’s directly in the center of Sussex county, giving you a short commute to anywhere in the county. I’ve seen countless communities and local businesses blowing up in the past 5 years. The northern region (Longneck) has a lot of good local restaurants like Paradise Grill beach bar, Serendipity, and local diners to choose from. A Wawa has gone up a few years back as well. It’s is closest to Lewes and Georgetown and its communities are all along the bay. It’s a short commute to beaches like Lewes, and Rehoboth. The southern region runs on route 13 cutting through it with big chain businesses along it like Fast food chains, Texas road house, and Wawa. It has homes that are in more rural areas and It has a short commute to southern beaches like Bethany and Fenwick. I’ve lived in Millsboro for 10 years and it is the fastest growing town in the county. If you are still interested in Millsboro or other towns within the area, I can connect you with one of the top realtors in the state who could provide more detail. Good luck on your search!

We have an opportunity to re locate to Wilmington for my husbands job. We are from the UK and want to rent for a year. We want somewhere safe, small historical town feel, with a good high school. Thanks
Interesting video about DE. I've lived in DE since 1980, Graduated from Cape Henlopen in '81, Angola-By-The-Bay, back from school I landed in NCC and have been in Bear since 1991. I kind of like where I am, everything is about 15-20 minutes away, whatever ya want in the immediate areas, plus all the major interconnections as well!
is that really what youre looking for? What about a good ole bagel place, or 'round the corner pizzeria, or a take-out chinese place! Lol!! Nah, but seriously, i'm from northern NJ and wanna buy a home in DE too! Don't even know where to begin! Help!!

Agree. Very downstate list. North of the canal, there's a lot of great scenery. And in some of this scenery are some nice places to live, particularly if you've got decent money. Centerville's great! Greenville's up there. Westover Hills bumps right up against the Wilmington corporate limits, but when you're there, you feel 100 miles away from the city. There are some nice spots in and around Hockessin. A little less pricey and more populated are the neighborhoods around Sherwood Park. Chances are you won't live in a mansion, but the people are solid. Good community feel.
@@Living-in-Delaware Im on med disability and the salt air makes me feel better. Also my MD $3600 real estate tax is killing me, my house and 1 acre property is too big for me having MS and being alone. My house is paid for , the only thing keeping me here is my 91 yr old mom, who is still on her own.
Lewes is incredible and HIGHLY underrated as a town. As “best places to live” it’s not in my personal top picks only because I prefer to be an outsider to it in cities like Milford, Milton, Harrison, etc. Incredible city, should see sustained growth for years to come with less areas to build.
@@Living-in-Delaware I just was in Greenwood for the first time the other day. I like it. I like the small towns and farms, and I hope they don’t all go away. Keep making videos.
If you like ticks and mold you will love Sussex County. Also the regular sound of gunfire once you are in the unincorporated areas. And massive overdevelopment. Kiss those low taxes goodbye.
@@Living-in-Delaware I recently watched a 60 acre parcel that was mostly trees get ground up into chips and hauled off in a semi. Every farm acreage around Millsboro on 113 has a for sale sign on it. I live here. It's wet. If you don't like mold and mildew be forewarned. After moving here, there were events involving gunfire at two bar/ restaurants on RT 1 in Rehoboth in 6 months. The gunfire I hear around outer Dagsboro is likely firearms enthusiasts not crime but I sure hope there are berms involved.

Head out of Old New Castle on RT 9 and south. Before the refinery there are some nice quiet developments.

Big fan of both but lean towards Frederica if I were you. More home, less money. + near your family.

Would you recommend Newark, DE?

Milton has five governors. Guess that rules out Milton. But they do have beer so that's a plus.
Have you been to there downtown though?
Born and grew up in NJ. Moved to Charleston SC 2018. Looking to retire in DE. looking to buy some cash for $200-250k?
Not a ton in that price point BUT with cash we have the options. When you looking to make the move to Delaware?

Dover 📌 right in the middle. (Love me some Sodel)
@@Living-in-Delaware pretty much anything south of Newark is southern Delaware 😂😂

This is a horrible list for Delaware. Go figures a transplant that moved to Kent county as a kid. That's who made this list 😂

If you weren't born in Delaware and are useful they might tolerate you. Otherwise don't live there.

It’s too little to be a real state.
