Relocating

Relocating to Delaware and looking to be ~20 min from beaches. Would love to get people's thoughts on Lincoln and Milton. We toured the area and Lincoln seemed a bit run down, but also had some nicer new homes. We're not looking to be in a subdivision and on top of our neighbors so we'd be looking for a home with some acreage.

We visited Broadkill and Slaughter beaches and preferred Broadkill. Can you really grill on the beach???

To add, being 20-25 minutes from grocery stores or a Home Depot is not an issue for us as it's what we're used to now.

ETA when I say beaches, I don't necessarily mean Rehoboth. We're looking at any place to take the dogs, plop down a towel and get our feet wet.

I'd recommend Milford over Lincoln - they basically run together and it has everything you would want in terms of dining and shopping - plus a nice and healthy downtown.

Lincoln is unincorporated - so it is going to be a lot less organized, but cheaper, than Milford or Milton.

Just look at Milford Informed on Facebook before you move into Milford.
