This wonderful, central location, is where you can appreciate living “in the ‘burbs” yet be a stone’s throw from many large metropolitan cities – complete with entertainment and employment. It’s quite easy to make a day trip by car or train to New York, Philadelphia, Atlantic City or Washington, DC, as my brother Mike, the actor, will attest, as he travels to these locations for jobs almost daily. 

The area is also filled with a variety of employment opportunities due Delaware being a tax-friendly state which helps businesses come to stay, as well as consumers save (there is no sales tax!).  Note this for businesses: Over 50 percent of companies on the NY Stock Exchange are Delaware corporations .  I saw first-hand how Delaware's pro-active stance on building the economy through progressive tax laws would help the little people when Delaware passed the Financial Center Development Act in 1981 opening the flood gates for banks and all of the related jobs for all skill levels to come to town. That's what gave me my first job, which led to the position of VP & Treasurer for Morgan Bank (Delaware).  This is eimply a great place to work and live!

Of course we cannot forget our main empolyer in Delaware for many years had been the DuPont Company (which employed my father and other family members).  

There are many State and County Parks as well as campgrounds, which allow both tent camping as well as 3-point hook-up for those of us who love to RV. 

Golf courses abound in this Tri-State area.  Many public and private courses add to the beauty of the landscape, and to view homes for sale on golf courses visit our Golf Course Homes Page.

Let’s not forget health care – while we have some of the top physicians and surgeons in the country, and many fine facilities in the immediate area such as Christiana Hospital and St. Francis Hospital – we are also close to such facilities as Magee Rehab, and Crozier Medical Center which has a premiere burn unit (and my brother Chris is an ER Nurse).
