I'm in lower Delaware (beach area) now for over 10 years. We moved from Annapolis, MD. Our property taxes on a 1/2 acre w/home in MD were over $10k when we moved. Here in lower Delaware our taxes on 1 acre w/4900 sq ft home is only $2,100. And we get a $400 credit on our tax return each year as seniors (we are young seniors!)

And we have no sales tax. Fast food, groceries, merchandise, restaurant meals, gas, etc.!
