8 Reasons to Move to Delaware

Why move to Delaware? Thinking of making the leap? If so, we're here to guide you through your decision! 


We love living, working, and building custom homes for the people of Delaware. Situated between New Jersey and Maryland, our home state is a gem for myriad reasons, not least of which are our stunning beaches.


Below, we dive into compelling reasons why moving to Delaware could be the best decision you've ever made:


Sales Tax? Never Heard of It

One of the top reasons to move to Delaware is its zero sales tax! If you see a product priced at $5.99, that's exactly what you pay at the checkout.


Many adore vacationing in Delaware precisely because of its tax-free shopping. Fancy some serious savings on top brands? The Tanger Outlets in Rehoboth Beach is a must-visit. Alternatively, meander through the picturesque shops in Lewes.


A Place to Live for Every Lifestyle

Whether you're dreaming of coastal living, urban vibes, or a tranquil rural setting, Delaware has it all. This state offers a varied landscape and the joys of all four seasons – from balmy summers and mild springs to crisp autumns and chilly winters.


The Mid-Atlantic’s Best Kept Secret

Why move to Delaware? Many residents cherish the state's serene pace of life, while also appreciating its proximity to dynamic neighbors like New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. Venture out for a day or a weekend, and a plethora of exciting activities await.


Incredible Beaches

Come summer, and if the beach beckons, know that destinations like Rehoboth and Bethany are ready to enthrall with their scenic beauty, family attractions, and vibrant nightlife.


Equally Incredible Parks 

Hiking, forest exploration, or a day at the beach – Delaware's parks cater to every whim. For those keen to connect with nature, the state offers parks like Alapocas Run, Cape Henlopen, and Trap Pond. Spot bald eagles, fish, or simply revel in the beauty.


Further, the state boasts of parks such as Auburn Valley, Brandywine Creek, Bellevue, and many more.


Attractions the Whole Family Will Love

Delaware's park system is a treasure trove of family fun. Plan visits to the Brandywine Zoo, Deerfield Golf & Tennis, or the Killens Pond Water Park for a day of joy.


Take to the Seas

Bay or beach, Delaware's public marinas like the Indian River Marina and Nanticoke River Marina are gateways to aquatic adventures.


Dine at the Shore

Did you know some of Delaware's best dining spots are nestled within its parks? The Big Chill Beach Club in Bethany Beach and Hammerheads in Rehoboth are just two culinary highlights.


Quality Education 

Another reason to move to Delaware is its outstanding education system. In 2020, Wallethub rated Delaware's public schools as the 9th best nationwide. Plus, the state is home to renowned institutions like the University of Delaware and Wilmington University.


Career Opportunities

Seeking diverse career avenues? Wilmington, in North Delaware, offers industries ranging from professional services and education to manufacturing and IT. And that's just one city – the entire state is brimming with opportunities!


Plenty of Land for Sale
