I'm also considering retiring to DE.
If you're a new resident how do you meet this requirement?
You still have to get 5 people to sign basically saying you are a good person
Thanks to all for this thread. I just put a down payment on retirement house in Lewes DE.
I second the thanks for the information here. We settled on a house in a new development last weekend...will take a year to be built but at least there is a path moving forward (or is that eastward?).
I have family in Millsboro, Lewes, Oceanview, Frankford, and Fenwick. I have been looking for something to buy down there, probably between Millsboro and Lewes.
I want more land. Wife wants closer to the beach. My biggest concerns are finding work that will earn my wife and I somewhere around 75% of what we make, and finding good schools for our soon to be HS children.
Where did you buy?
Having a home with a basement in DE is very rare. You are one of the lucky ones...
Not really rare, some homes 3/4 blocks from the beach in Rehoboth have basements, ceiling restricted to 6'. Quite a few developments in eastern Sussex offering basements, what's really new is natural gas over propane.
We're seeing new DE residents every week looking for a new Club, Sussex Co is growing so fast. We have several events open to the public; Trap, Steel Pistol, Black Powder and offer DE required CCW course.
I foresee Sussex shooting clubs reaching their capacity in a few short years ..................
I agree about natural gas which is new to Sussex County. If i remember right the line runs along Rt 9 from G'town to 5 points intersection and then down along Rt 1. I do like the idea of using natural gas for cooking and heating as well but have to take in consideration that are is also a flood zone if the big one should hit. You have over by the bay as well along rt 24 but i do think it will be some time before the natural gas line is built over that way i guess it depends on supply and demand. I wonder if it would be worth having a basement in Sussex Cnty over by Lewes or Rehoboth area due to it being a flood zone and if the big one should hit you could end up with a basement full of water and that does open up a whole new can of worms as well. Anyway congrats to you and enjoy!!!
