​Why choose to live in Delaware, you might ask yourself.  For many great reasons!  Here are just a few of our favorites:

There are significant tax advantages!  Beyond the fact that there is ​NO​ state sales tax, NO state tax on Social Security income, and NO personal property taxes, there are a wealth of tax credits and exclusions to be found here in Delaware.  These include:

  • ​PENSION EXLUSIONS.  For each person 60 and over, up to $12,500 of pension and eligible retirement income are exempt from Delaware income taxes.
  • SCHOOL TAX CREDIT.  Each qualified homeowner 65 and older receives a Senior Citizen Property School Tax Credit of up to $500.

​Delaware also boasts one of the lowest property tax burdens in the entire nation - the average Sussex County property tax bill for a single family home is $106 annually.  Kiplinger's Personal Finance​ Magazine even chose Delaware as one of the 10 most tax-friendly states for retirees!

Delaware offers both a great location AND stunning natural resources!

  • Delaware (specifically Rehoboth Beach) is located within a 3-hour drive of three major cities: Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, DC.  Add another hour and you can be in New York City!
  • ​There are incredible beaches, state parks, biking/hiking trails, golf courses, and more to be found here!
  • ​Three separate publications (​Delaware Today, Coastal Living​, and ​Southern Living​) and CBSMoneyWatch.com have listed Lewes, Delaware as a best place to live or visit ... and ​National Geographic​'s travel website designated Rehoboth Beach's boardwalk as the 6th best in the entire nation!
  • ​The Natural Resources Defense Council awarded Rehoboth and Dewey Beach the "​Superstar Beach​" status, an honor given to only 4 beaches, meaning that both beaches received their highest 5-star rating, and had perfect water testing results.  So our beaches are not only beautiful and seemingly endless, but they are ​safe​ as well!

And more... Isn't it time for you to come to Delaware to see for yourself what an amazing place it is to live?
