What People Say: Tell us what you love About Delaware

“Rights in the middle on the east coast.”

“ Golf on one of many Championship golf courses, followed by beautiful beaches then dinner in one of our many wonderful restaurants... not a bad day! There are so many different things to do that everyday could be like a vacation. ”

“like lower tax and is affordable to live comfortable”

“The people are helpful and pleasant And so very nice and cheerful!!”

“it is the first state”

“ ...I love waking up early to the smell of fresh brewed Hazelnut Coffee and then wandering down to Wagamons Pond with our kittens Paris and Gorky. While they chase bugs, climb trees and take dust baths, I sit serenely and enjoy as nature wakes to the sun sparkling across the water. On a lucky morning, Huey, Dewey and Louie (our "pet" river otters) will stop by for comic relief and to say good morning... ”

“ I grew up on the Oregon Coast and have been in Delaware for 3 years now. I LOVE that I can lay and swim on the beach without a wet suit or a hoodie! The weather here is always beautiful and the beaches are gorgeous! Everyone is so friendly and there is so much to do! The food, the shopping, the local events... I love living here at the beach! ”

“ The wonderful array of farmers markets that have sprung up over the last 6 years, bringing fresh local produce to our area and creating a real sense of community at the markets. ”

“ I love the LOW taxes and quietness of the state. ”

“ You can't beat the Delaware beaches. Clean, fun, no sales tax and close to Washington (area I grew up in). Bought a 2nd home in Bethany Beach and never looked back. Once the kids are gone, my wife and I will transplant permanently to this area. Can't wait. ”

“Seafood”

“I have traveled a great deal in this country and internationally - and each time I am glad when I see the Delaware sign indicating I am home. Opportunities to be active in volunteerism abound. My favorite is the Delaware Lions. They work hard to provide sight and hearing equipment, testing and research for the people of the world.”

“Tax breaks”

“Retirement”

“ I love the way the shore lifestyle can transform someone from a "Battle-Hardened", corporatized tough-guy to a fun-loving, deep-breath taking, and enjoyable person who takes pride in calling everyone they meet by their first name! The Ocean has that affect on people! ”

“ We had been vacationing in DE for many years. I knew this was the place to retire for me and my wife. The people here are very friendly. The beaches are incredibility beautiful. The restaurants are awesome. There is so much to enjoy here. And knowing we are still only 4 hrs from our friends back in NY is a huge plus. ”

“interested in low retirement taxes”

“ I always said I'd retire at the beach; I never knew I'd be so lucky as to start my career here right out of college. Six years later, I still have trouble believing that "vacation" is daily life for us! I feel very spoiled to have the ocean and beaches at our disposal everyday, not to mention all of the other recreational, historical and resort attractions. And I love that it's an easy commute to a number of cool major cities! Delaware packs a lot of punch into a small package. ”

“Retirement”
