These are the 7 BEST Places to Live in Delaware (2024 Edition)

What about Millsboro ? Thinking of moving there from NYC .

Hi, I’m from central NJ and I’m looking to move to DE. Do you know about any cool record stores in the lower part of the state?

Been wanting to move from Harford Co, Md to somewhere between Milford and Milton. Downsizing

You don’t live in DE obviously. Move to Sussex County.

Dude Camden Wyoming, and Wilmington hugh. I woulsnt move to any of those places.

As a life long Delaware resident I can honestly tell you that WE DONT WANT YOU HERE SO EITHER STAY WHERE YOU ARE OE PICK ANOTHER STATE.ESPECIALLY IF YOU IN PENNSYLVANIA,NEW JERSEY OR NEW YORK.
US LOCALS HATE YOU.

Did he forget Lewes.

Milton has five governors. Guess that rules out Milton. But they do have beer so that's a plus.

What about Bethany Beach or Rehoboth Beach?!

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

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!

LOL.... no.

Very downstate-heavy list. There are plenty of places in New Castle County besides Wilmington that are great to live in as well.

I miss being home. Might have to go back soon

Tell me you're from southern Delaware, without telling me you're from southern Delaware.

Wilmington de is a shit hole I was attacked there and so were 1700 other people in a 3 month period lol carry a gun if you want to live

watch out for the Nuclear power plant on the ocean between Smyrna and broad kill beach its polluted, highest cancer Rates/ Delaware sucks, 3 worst water in US/ highest crime in Dover and Wilmington . Homeless people drug addicts will attack you!! it's a crap heroin hole

The bad hombre shirt squad

Hi, looking to move to DE what about Middletown I heard great things.

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.

on a small farm off the beating path in sussex county - with your own well and decent neighbors

Would you recommend Newark, DE?

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.

Born and grew up in NJ. Moved to Charleston SC 2018. Looking to retire in DE. looking to buy some cash for $200-250k?

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

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 .

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 😂

It’s too little to be a real state.

DOVER?????? I am a veteran as well, but I do not share your enthusiasm. I live there, but sadly it will never reach its potential as the city planners are CLUELESS!!! Downtown would be special, but never will, as long as they house and include the Homeless/Drug support resources there I live out in the county, not the city/town and enjoy what the rural part offers.

Who would want to live or even visit the state that continually voted for Joe Biden for congress for 40 years , they must be stupid

Oh my goodness. Milford is terrible. This town is horrible. And it's getting worse everyday.

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.

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?
