Let’s take a closer look atsome of the reasons to retirein the first state in the Union.

Natural beauty & climate

This part of the eastern seaboard is well-preserved, thanks largely to development guidelines that honor the existing landscape and protect the environment. The Natural Resources Defense Council rated Delaware’s waterways second in the nation in terms of cleanliness and monitoring processes (nearby New York rated 23rd). The climate is a major attraction for visitors. The effects of the ocean temper the heat, although milder climes are not far, with even the southern part of the state experiencing a little warmer weather.

Tax benefits

Property taxes are some of the lowest in the country. A 2000 square foot home would have average property taxes of $125 per month (less than 10% of an equivalent home in New Jersey). In addition, Delaware residents enjoy NO taxes on social security benefits and ZERO sales tax.

Healthcare

A number of major hospitals are located in the area, including the Johns Hopkins University Hospital and the Jefferson University Hospital in Philadelphia, located less than half an hour from the Darley Green community. And residents can stay in tip top shape with plenty of outdoor pursuits such as hiking and biking along Darley Green's onsite nature trails.
