These days, it seems like everyone wants to live at the Delaware beaches.
And why not? With 26 miles of Atlantic coastline and scores of inland bays, rivers, freshwater ponds and more, southern Delaware certainly has more than its fair share of waterfront and near waterfront property.
It really wasn’t that long ago, however, that living near the water was deemed more of a risk than it was really worth. Stories abound in Sussex County of people buying in inland communities like Millsboro, Dagsboro, Georgetown and even Seaford and Laurel because it was just far enough away from the water to prevent any type of flooding or natural disasters.
A lot of that has changed in recent years with safety precautions being put into place along the coast. The most important of these is a dune system that, so far at least, has protected the area’s beach towns from any catastrophic events.
Sure they have been challenges like with Superstorm Sandy in 2012, as well as continuing issues along the inland bays during heavy rain events. But, for the most part, coastal Delaware has “weathered the storm,” so to speak.
So to come full circle, these days a growing number of people want to live at or near the beach. And there are many advantages to doing so.

- It’s a Great Investment. While real estate markets, like most other economic indicators, ebb and flow, beach homes are proven to retain their value extremely well over time. Think about it? There are only 26 miles of Atlantic coastline in Delaware, a finite amount of area where homes can be built. And as long as the ocean is right next door, this land and these homes are going to remain highly sought after. While they cost more to purchase initially, they are also proven to be a fantastic investment over time.
