I have lived in Delaware for 18 years, which has been my whole life so far. I plan on staying here forever because it is a perfect place to raise a family! There is little to no safety issues. With great schools, and many activities to do around, you can't go wrong!

The area is nice and quiet. Just a five minute walk to downtown Delaware where there are several delicious food options. Lovely people and always something to do for kids, family and even the adults!
I've been a resident of Delaware all my life, and I honestly don't have many bad comments about it. Delaware has a great sense of community, and very family friendly. Another perk of Delaware, is if you get board and cant find anything in town to do, its only about a 25 minute drive into Polaris, Columbus, and the Outlet mall.
