Review of Lewes, Delaware


Excellent place to live and retire to
Star Rating - 1/17/2018
I moved to Lewes in 2009 and it has been a great experience so far. Sussex County has the lowest property taxes in the state and Delaware has no sales tax making it a great place to retire. Everything I need is close by which is very convenient. Lewes has great shopping, golf, fishing, restaurants, and many different activities to keep you busy all year round. All of the people I have come across have been friendly and I would highly recommend checking out Lewes as a place to visit or move to.

Why all the disagreements? Please, instead of disagreeing, perhaps someone out of 323 might want to elaborate for us. I'd appreciate it and I am sure others would too! Thanks in advance.

I am strongly considering Lewes for retirement, with my husband, both of us being very very active! We want a place that is not too hot in the summer and not too cold in the winter, I read Delaware has top 10 weather in the US year round. I was so happy to read the review, but then the amount of disagreements startled me! Can someone....anyone....list some con's for moving there as a young, active, retired couple with 2 children in college. We want to start our lives over in retirement and it will be our last move hopefully! NEED's more affordable than Long Island NY, HAS TO HAVE great weather for outdoor activity year round and needs to be within 4-5 hours of LI, NY. Thank you!
