Whether you’re eager to stay close to family and friends, looking for an active retirement, or aiming to fulfill a lifelong dream of living at the beach, Delaware truly does have it all. Location Bordering Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, Delaware residents enjoy close proximity to some of the East Coast’s major cities, including Philadelphia, Washington D.C., New York, and Baltimore.

Summers at the beach are a far cry from the heat waves in Florida; with the gorgeous autumnal weather following closely behind. With water as far as the eye can see, there are plenty of marine-related activities to enjoy.
