North Delaware - Advice in good areas to invest and settle in

[Jonathan Kim]

Hey there Delaware folks. Hope you guys are doing well! 

I am thinking of relocating to Delaware and was hoping for advice on good areas to invest in. I currently live in a multi-family in central jersey which I bought little over 2 years ago. I made all the repairs and at this point a pretty solid investment property.

Now, I'm looking for a Single Family within decent commuting distance to Philadelphia, I work at the Navy Yard. My current daily commute is like 1.5 hours each way so I need a break, LOL... I'm also looking to plant some roots, starting a family so good schools would be very helpful.

Why Delaware? I noticed that taxes there are pretty awesome and coming from Jersey, you could see why my interest is peaked. I was thinking of Wilmington but during my research of the area, I noticed an FBI survey stating that Wilmington is ranked no. 3 for most murders. Big BUMMER!

Any suggestion you might have that leads me in the right direction would be awesome!

Thanks guys!
