Moderate Living - 1/25/2008
The cost of living in Wilmington, Delaware is what I would consider "moderate" -- not as high as some of the surrounding big cities (i.e., Baltimore, Philadelphia, etc.), but not as low as what some call "slower" Delaware (the lower two counties). Apartments can range in price anywhere from $800 to $1500 for a two bedroom. Slightly south of the city, apartments are a little lower ($700/mo.). Housing tends to run in the mid $100s and up for ranch homes and townhomes. Naturally, the larger the home and more property, the higher the price.
Average median income is $30,000, with average household income running around

Great place to live. - 9/24/2007
Wilmington, DE has been a great place to live for the last six years. Prior to this address we have lived in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island and New York State. The cost of living, compared to other Northeast locations, is moderate to low with no state sales tax, low housing and property taxes being major contributors. The location is also superb as it is two hours drive to New York City, 90 minutes to Baltimore, less than two hours to Washington DC, 90 minutes to the Delaware Beaches, two hours to skiing in the Catskills, one hour to great water sports on the Cheasapeake Bay, etc., etc., etc. Temperatures are also more moderate then New England and as boaters we find about 40 to 60 more good boating days on the Bay than we did in Massachusetts. We are currently evaluating Delaware as a retirement location based on our great experiences to

It's not the heat, it's the humidity that kills you. I have zero tolerance for humidity, so that's why I'm looking to leave Delaware. Plus, in the winter when it does snow, the mere forecast sends everyone fleeing to the market to get milk and bread. A few inches of snow here will cripple the area...and everyone drives

good, bad, ugly - 9/5/2006
Wilmington has lots of potential with mega-million waterfront development 1/2 way complete. Decent jobs and parks, some nice people, proximaty to Philly, NY ect. BUT there's ingrained ghetto mentality-angry hostile attitudes combined with do-nothing city administration= wear a bulletproof vest when you walk the dog and bring your

Wilmingron Delaware - 6/16/2005
Delaware in general is an over crouded place especially Wilmington. Majority of the people are rude and inconsiderate. The traffic is rediculous no matter where you go. It's like a mini Philadelphia/New
