Top 5 Places to Move in Delaware
With national headlines proclaiming Delaware as a trending hotspot for millennials and retirees alike, the question on homebuyers’ minds is not “why Delaware?” but “where in Delaware can I get the best value for my money?”
So why is everyone flocking to the First State to live, work and play? First of all, the financial advantages are truly unmatched: no sales tax, no inheritance tax, one of the country’s lowest property tax rates and a minuscule state income tax. But increasingly other draws are luring everyone – from young professionals to empty nesters to families just starting out – to Delaware, including lucrative employment opportunities, new luxury developments, and happening cultural and nightlife scenes.
With such a bounty of riches, it can be hard to know where to look first when considering a move to Delaware. Whether you prefer a beach community in Sussex County, the sizzling hot riverfront scene in Wilmington, or the sprawling hills of New Castle, our list of the top 5 places to move in Delaware has you covered.
Darley Green
A 21st century upgrade to small-town America of yesteryear, this master-planned community of spacious townhomes and condos combines the best of both worlds: a relaxed neighborhood atmosphere only 10 minutes by car to the newly revitalized Wilmington riverfront and a 20-minute commute to Philadelphia. Residents are also only minutes from the many attractions – recreational, cultural, culinary and more – of the Brandywine River Valley. Darley Green proves that luxury and convenience really can be affordable, with prices starting in the $200s. Incentives are currently available for qualifying homebuyers.
