Delaware is a very safe community, with great schools, and a fun historic downtown area! I love that there are a lot of community activities, like the county fair, Delaware arts show, and farmers market. The only thing that I wish I would change is that there needs to be more things to do for the teenagers because there isn't much for them.
I have lived near Delaware nearly my entire life, and lived in the town for a few years as well. In my years around the area I think it’s a real up and coming town. It has a very nice old time feel with well-preserved turn of the century and older homes and buildings. It’s a very safe area with a wonderful police force that keeps us safe, as well as a honest community that looks out of each other. Once I graduate from Franklin University, I hope to move back to this wonderful town!
My overall experience of Delaware, Ohio is a pretty good one. I have lived in this county for almost 13 years now, and I would not want to move! I love where my house is at because I do not believe that I have ever seen a prettier sunset. Also, the people are great here. They are friendly enough to talk to you if you want someone to talk to, but they do not care to get all up in your business.
However, I would like to the the roads fixed up. There are cracks and other things, like trash on the sides of the roads, that just make everything look bummy.
