Bear, DE Reviews

Lovely area to own a home and be proud of! - 3/31/2021
I have lived in Bear Delaware for about 15 years and absolutely love it! Lums Pond State Park Area/Bear/Newark/Glasgow are wonderful. You have everything you could possible need or want to do within a short distance while keeping up the rural landscape. You have the luxury of a a few hot spots and yet not overly done with shopping centers. Route 1 and 95 are convenient. All within about ten minutes, you can traverse to charming Chesapeake City, MD, Newark University of Delaware Main street, The North Summit Marina and Middletown Main Street.

Former Delaware Resident - 10/13/2011
I have lived in Wilmington, Newark, New Castle, Bear, and Oogletown Delaware. From 1990 to 2004.

I honestly do not have anything favorable to say about Delaware, and looked to leave the moment I arrived.

Traffic is Horrible, basically bring a book, odds are you will be stuck in traffic.

Humidity is unbearable making summers sweltering & winters bone chilling. There really is not inbetween season. Summer starts in April and continues to October.

Mosquitos, you practically need a transfusion.. not like there is any reason to be outside in Delaware, or anything to do, but on your trip from your heated or air conditioned home to your heated or air conditioned car you will be eaten alive.

Wilmington, just to drive through smells like sewage. No reason to stop,unless you want to be a crime target. Not like Newark or Bear are any better, you are guarenteed to have someone at least try to steal your car.
