Hi Jen!! Very nice video. My daughter keeps saying, what are you going to do there? I said, what do I do at home? I love being outside, going for a walk. I love to shop and talk to people. I love not having a lot of people around me all the time (NYC). I am going to be fine. She said, do they have book clubs, poetry and things like that. I told her, I'm sure if she looked, she could find that kind of thing. What a lot of people don't realize is that we don't really do that much except go to work here in NYC. Retirement...here I come.
I like to go on day trips so the central location of Deleware is great. I get bored easily, but after living close to DC I realized that I stay in the house mostly too. Trying to figure out parking and traffic is enough to keep me inside.
This is fair and accurate. I spent 20 years working in the banking industry and lived in Brandywine Hundred. And could be in New York or DC in a few hours via Amtrak. If it wasn't so expensive where I lived I'd go back in a heartbeat.
I’m from Middletown, Delaware. Now living in Miami, Florida. Delaware it’s a cute town to raise kids, good school districts, you have access to many cities. I was there from 4-21 years old. Don’t regret leaving. If you’re young and want city life, the night life don’t move there. But it’s a small state! You literally know everyone! 😂😂😂
I have decided to live along communities along Rt 202 Brandywine market is slowing down and I need access to southern NJ where my favorite restaurants are
Hi! I would love to help you! Can you send me an email soldbyjenngee@gmail.com or a DM on Instagram? I can get you more information about homes in that area
I am a long time Delaware native, born and raised all my life here. It was much better here before all the people from big cities started moving in! Like New York, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Texas, California. Completely congested now!!
In the Summer at the beaches are people packed in like sardines? Is there public transportation to the beach? I will be retired soon. Denver Colorado is very costly so I may move.
My husband and I are looking to buy a house and Delaware is looking promising. Is it díverse? I am latina and he is caribbean. We are from nyc and don’t want to feel out of place
hey Jennifer. Is DE good for international students? I am thinking of joining Wilmington University, that's in new castle. Any suggestions / advice for international students? Like affordable housing, monthly expenses etc, please elaborate these points and if possible please make a separate video over that as well. Thank you
Hi! I’m really sorry but I’m not familiar with international student housing or information. We have a lot of international students, I would check to see if there are any Facebook groups!
I would totally move to DE if only they had an airport! And an Asian market! Asian Market is a big must! Was in Middletown just this past wkend ! Was beautiful! I would move there if and when me and husband find jobs !
we have an airport, its just a regional airport with a regional airline, Avelo. But we are close to BWI and Philadelphia International. We have an asian market in Newark, De
DE has a small airport but it limited. PHL airport is literally 30min away, so I’m not sure what the issue is with that. They just opened a giant Asian market out of the old Toys R Us in Christiana
Interesting location for people like she said with a job that pays. I like the stone houses in colonial style. For 400K you could find a small family home in the green. Ain't bad place.
I am moving to DE next month and I REALLY want chickens!! But I see that there are SO many restrictions! We are trying to find a home in between Dover and Seaford. Any suggestions for chicken- friendly communities? (That don’t require 5 acres of land!)
That’s awesome!! Are you looking to purchase or rent? If renting you’ll need to check with the landlord to make sure it’s okay with them. Most communities do not allow chickens. You’ll need to find a home without an HOA. The more rural areas like Felton, Harrington, seaford, bridgeville will most likely be the areas to look at. If you aren’t already working with a realtor, I would love to help you if you are looking to purchase!
If you’re young and single, Delaware is not for you. If you have young kids, it’s ok but the public schools in Delaware are horrible (one of the reasons for the low property taxes). I’d come here if you’re planning on retiring and doing nothing. Delaware is great for that, especially as the cost of living in Delaware is cheap.

I was born and raised in Delaware and I can say she is speaking truth on a lot of points.
Thank you for watching ☺️

🤔Your welcome, new neighbor 😂

Where’s the best place for a retiree home or community away from the flood and storm zones and yet somewhat close to the beaches ?
Felton or Milford. It’s still a little drive to the beach but you won’t be in the flood zone
In the Summer at the beaches are people packed in like sardines? Is there public transportation to the beach? I will be retired soon. Denver Colorado is very costly so I may move.
yes the beaches are very crowded in the summer. Yes there is public transportation to the beach and boardwalk@@alanchwalek3070
you want to see traffic, go to NYC or the surrounding areas, that is literally a parking lot!
I’ve seen it! Crazy!
Can you tell me if there are supplemental taxes for new communities in Lewes,DE in addition to the property taxes?
Town/city taxes if you are within town limits
My husband and I are looking to buy a house and Delaware is looking promising. Is it díverse? I am latina and he is caribbean. We are from nyc and don’t want to feel out of place
Yes it is! I have many clients moving from nyc as well! I would love to help you! Please send me an email: soldbyjenngee@gmail.com
I am african american but looking to rent for a few years and then buy

It’s quite and suburban but traffic is terrible??
Yes the middle part of Delaware is farm land, quite. New castle county is suburban, and the beaches areas have a lot of traffic
Great state to raise a family and to retire to.
Agreed!
If you’re young and single, Delaware is not for you. If you have young kids, it’s ok but the public schools in Delaware are horrible (one of the reasons for the low property taxes).

I’m 31 and single so it’s a no for me ?
Definitely not for you @@ashajeremiahqw8775
BORING IS GOOD
I agree, I'm not bored living in delaware but I think its because I enjoy boring haha
Stay out of Downtown Wilmington if you have a bullet allergy
At least you guys got haunted locations
I’m afraid of the dark 😂
“Delaware is a greattt!! place to live”…”even when there’s things to do, I stay at home and watch a movie”… very dull state
I’m just a homebody 🤷🏼♀️
I was really liking Delaware until you said floods. I laughed and was disappointed at the same time. Lol
Lol we haven’t had much rain lately!
My uncle told me you cant escape thr bad weather pick one
Not everybody can afford college.They want get a job
I hear your health care is terrible
I wouldn’t agree, if it wasn’t for the healthcare here in Delaware I don’t know if my daughter would be here right now.
It is terrible - appallingly terrible. We go to Philly for our medical needs.
Interesting. What makes it so horrible? Just curious
