I have lived in Delaware for approximately seven years and it has been a wonderful experience overall. The neighborhood is incredibly friendly and open to all newcomers, which I greatly appreciated during the first few weeks of my stay. When I arrived, the neighborhood had not been completely built so as it grew our community grew as well, which strengthened the sense of our district as a whole.
Delaware is a wonderful town! The downtown area has a little bit of everything, whether that's food, seeing a movie or shopping. There are lots of nearby parks as well as other grocery stores and shopping centers. I love living there it feels like home, and the community is great! As a college student too, it has a little bit of everything I need and what isn't downtown probably isn't too far of a drive.
Having lived in Delaware, Ohio for many years, I can say this city has grown into a robust area with plenty to offer, yet maintains a cozy small-town feel. Home to Ohio Wesleyan University, Delaware is quite diverse and presents many activities for individuals of any age.
