Unboxing Delaware: What It's Like Living In Delaware

Is Delaware boring?
Is Delaware growing SUPER fast?
And does Delaware have awesome beaches?
We’ll answer those questions and more. So let’s pull up our anchors and get ready to set sail. We’re gonna unbox the state of Delaware!
Oooh. What a pretty beach. It’s not often you find a calm, tranquil beach up here in the northeast like this. Many beaches in this part of the country are way overcrowded and dirty. But not this beach. Nuh uh. This is Bethany Beach. It’s one of Delaware’s MANY great beaches. A lot of people from all over the area come to Delaware’s beaches in the summertime. That sounds like a GOOD thing, but all those people flocking to this part of the state means there’s no room for the locals!
No one wants annoying Pennsylvania, Maryland and DC people here right? But these are the closest nicest beaches for many Americans, and there’s no sign at the state line saying they can’t come. Can you blame them for flocking here? I mean look at the place. Delaware beaches are regularly called some of the cleanest beaches in the country.
But there’s a lot more to Delaware than just neat beaches. I mean this place is HUGE! Actually it’s tiny. There’s still sort of a lot going on here in the Diamond State. If you’re thinking of making Delaware YOUR home one day, you need to know the ins and outs of this state so you know where the perfect place is for you and your perfect little family.
This is Delaware.

That's exactly what it was until the pandemic. Crime literally was low af! 17 people shot in a year before the pandemic came. In philly that's one day.

Nice video, I especially liked the shot of downtown Dover, New Hampshire between time 12:22 and 12:35. The sign with all the highways is right next to my favorite pizzeria in NH.

Doesn’t sound too bad I suppose, as someone who currently lives in Maryland closer to DC and Baltimore I’d love to stay here but the prices aren’t right by any means. Crazy how much more affordable Delaware is even tho it’s only a few hours away.

Wilmington Delaware is probably the best place to live in the US... in my opinion. It is such a central location and near 4 major US cities (Baltimore, DC, NYC). It's easy to get up and decide to take a trip to any of those places. In addition, Wilmington is a city but it really is pretty much the sister city of Philadelphia. Matter of fact, both Philadelphia and Wilmington include each place in the metro population count. 30 to 35minutes and you are in Philly. That is the same or less than the commute time for many people in most major cities. You have access to so many different airports in nearby states when traveling. Delaware is the 2nd smallest state but was the 9th richest state in the union in 2020: it's economy was ranked 21 out of all of the states which is impressive considering it's size. I missed and appreciate Delaware much more after spending almost all of my adult life (so far) in Atlanta. That Joe BIden pick is hilarious. He needs to get that done ASAP. They won't call him sleepy Joe anymore.

[@NickJohnson]

No they won't..

[@standingovation3092]

I grew up in the great state of Delaware and I sure do miss it. I live in NJ now and let me tell you. NJ is super expensive to live. The property tax is through the roof and they make ridiculous excuses to raise them. Income tax, sales tax and car insurance are insane as well. I'll take Delaware and it's boring any day. In your video, you described Delaware perfectly. I Love Delaware it will always be home.

Another great vid. Spent gobs of time out there last couple years. Milford and Milton are great in-betweens. Close enough to the beaches but also a hidden secret of DE is mid-bay, around Big Stone Beach, which is somewhat parallel with the Milford area. It's gorgeous. Rugged. Tons of life. Not just horseshoe crabs but lots of other fish, rays, and tons of sand tiger sharks. There's this sand coral that serves as a substrate for mussel beds and the gulls perch on them and pick small prey out of the shallow pools at low tide. There's cactus everywhere behind the bluffs. It's splendid. Link in reply.

[@darrenthompson2081]

[@mikeeverton147]

I’m in Delaware. Top of DE is just city and suburbs on the main land. The rest of DE is on Delmarva peninsula which has clean beaches with boardwalks and each beach town has its feel and it’s own set of stuff to do. A lot of agriculture here. And it’s very safe here. Lacking dangerous wildlife. Stable sane population for the most part. A lot of good people here.

[@michelelapinski4715]

Its pronounced "smur-na" (Smyrna). I'm a "transplant" via the USAF. It was interesting learning to correctly prounounce some of the towns here -- Lewes (lewis), Townsend (towns end), Newark (new ark) and seeing an Amish buggy on the road for the first time.

[@paulwild3676]

Lewes must be named after the one in Sussex in U.K.

[@brianbarnes7774]

Haters gonna hate, and overly opinionated people will surely not like this, but of the 4 states I have lived in( Pennsylvania, Vermont, Florida and Delaware) I Love Delaware. There is so much history here, and the natives are truly nice people. As with any state, there are good areas and bad areas. I live in Millsboro, Sussex County, just far enough from the beaches. Its a nice place. I say why not visit for yourself, and judge. Rehoboth Beach is really nice. I lived in Sarasota Florida, and never found a beach that was like Rehoboth. Small town feel, and really nice people. Ask a local and they will tell you.

[@sweetfacelola5540]

The places he named not to move to was about the homes being older not crime. He should have said that. Dover, Claymont are not crime ridden. I think these people were not able to articulate that because it's almost like they wanted to feed into your crime is all over stay away sentiment. Smh! He simply named places where the house aren't the big 4000 sqft like we have in Middleton, Smyrna and Townsend. I'm defending DE because this is a better state in the US to live in and many aren't aware.

[@bradbaldus1713]

Lewes is Cape Henlopen at the mouth of the Bay. It is a specific geographic feature, but there is a great deal of development around it reaching towards Milton and the bay beaches and west into the rural parts of Sussex County which is the Cape Henlopen School District and region.
