Why Retire to Delaware?

One of the biggest considerations when deciding where you'll retire is the cost of living in that area and how that works with your lifestyle. States with high costs of living can sometimes be the difference in waiting longer to retire or in retirement lifestyle, so it makes sense that you'll want to find the most affordable location that still offers the quality of life you desire.

It's easy to see why Delaware is one of the most popular states for retiring, offering:

  • Lower costs than most states
  • Zero sales tax
  • Zero tax on social security benefits
  • No inheritance tax

And nestled in charming Middletown, DE, Parks Edge is the active adult community where you'll find the luxury, excitement and location you deserve, without a cost of living that inhibits your lifestyle.

But what are some other reasons people are so eager to retire in Delaware?

  • 20.4% more affordable than Maryland
