Kent County Reviews
Rating 3.6 out of 5 5 reviews
Kent County isn't too crowded, but it has gotten more populated as more people retire. Within the last few months, there have been many news reports about gun violence and missing persons. This makes me feel unsafe, especially since a lot of it is in my area. Kent County used to be a great place, but it has grown dark over the years.
I just moved here from Pa. so far so good. I haven't adventured out in the community. However, I love the community that I moved to.
Kent County is great. I live near Delaware State University and I'm right by the highway. Your open to all stores on the strip, with food places all the way down DuPont Highway. It is clean and the people here are very nice. I have been here for 5 years and It is place that I’m sticking around with for a while. Only thing that could be better is fixing Dover’s downtown because it is very small, it’s only a street basically. Besides that Kent County is a great place to live and I’m looking forward for the future of it.
