What People Say: Tell us what you love About Delaware

“I visit family in Bear.”

“We left the DC metro area after nine years to return to my wife's home state. Our main reason was to improve the quality of life for our young kids as they grow up. I could not imagine how overwhelmingly happy we could be with our move. We left a place on a map and moved to a community. We love the people, the beach, the state parks, the thriving restaurant scene... There isn't enough room on this page to cover the bases. We're close enough to DC/Baltimore/Philly but far enough from the craziness. Without a doubt, we cannot imagine a better place to be.”

“The quiet friendly community life and the fresh air”

“Where do I start? Fresh air, clean waterways, beautiful sunsets, lovely communities, clean...did I say clean?”

“Location”

“After retirement, you have to start doing things for yourself and I can say that moving to Delaware is one of the best things I’ve ever done – for me. In our community, we celebrate everything for everybody: birthdays, anniversaries, or hey, it’s Tuesday, let’s get together. I’ve made a whole family of friends here.”

“Been coming down to DE for years. It has so much to offer. Beautiful clean beaches, fabulous restaurants, quaint towns, fantastic shopping, beautiful year round temps for change of season fun. Numerous festivals year round. We now have owned our home here for 6 years and still feel as we are on vacation everyday! I HEART DE !!!”

“tax treatment”

“Peace”

“ I love jogging in the State Parks in Delaware. There are some great trails in the Cape Henlopen State Park for runners. There's also the Junction and Breakwater trail between Lewes and Rehoboth that is beautiful and soft on the knees. My favorite is the running trail around Gordon's Pond in North Rehoboth. It's absolutely amazing back there. ”

“ We've lived here for almost 20 years now, and I still feel like I'm on vacation every single day. We had a good life back in the D.C. area, but found a better life here. I love everything about here ~ the sun, the surf, the sand, the creeks & marshes, the natural beauty surrounding us, the wonderful people. What a treasure little Delaware is ~ for all of us "locals" and visitors alike. It just doesn't get any better than this! ”

“ The best thing about Delaware is the people – the beach brings out the kid in everyone. ”

“ There is no other place that you can enjoy the beach and bay, tax free shopping, seafood, wonderful weather, great entertainment, and beautiful people. Only the Delaware beaches! I have never experienced so many different types of people love and respect each other; it's Delaware living. Heather Knowles-Loving Life ”

“close proximity to NY, NJ and Maryland”

“ As a child, going to the beach for the day was the best thing ever. Imagine living in your favorite vacation spot all year. Summer or winter, beach life is the best! ”

“ Last week my husband and I went to Dover for 2 days and stayed at the Dover Downs Hotel. We absolutely loved it. That was our first time in Delaware. And let me say that although I am not ready to retire, when the time comes, Delaware will be my first consideration! ”

“My Mom is moving down!”

“ Liz and I moved from Maryland and, for us, retirement began in Delaware. We quickly realized that we didn't retire from something, but rather had a beautiful place to retire to--DELAWARE! Our nearly 2 years in Delaware have us working at living! We made a retirement plan and are living that plan in gorgeous, beautiful, and fulfilling Delaware! ”
