Middletown Reviews
Rating 4.01 out of 5 149 reviews
Middleton is a suburb of Wilmington, DE. It is clean, neighborly, and great for families. It is growing as an outstanding economic hub and it's economy is strong - plenty of job opportunities. The former Governor Markell invested a great deal of funds into economic development initiatives to enhance small business development and growth. I have been an integral part of supporting these initiatives through business coaching and mentoring services for entrepreneurs.
Middletown, Delaware is a charming town with a rich history and excellent schools. It has a vibrant downtown area that offers a variety of shops, restaurants, and events, while the town has all the amenities you could need, including grocery stores, healthcare facilities, and parks. Middletown location makes it easy to access other parts of Delaware. Overall, Middletown is a great place to live, work, and visit.
Boring but safe. Very expensive and minimal convenience. We are outside of town limits so it takes atleast 15 minutes to get into town or 20 to get to Christiana mall area. The restaurant food here is not good, try as they may. The post office is super unreliable and grumpy. Lots of transplants, like us, so the people are welcoming and it's not hard to build a community. The cost of everything here is high. Expect atleast a $70 restaurant bill for a family of 4. Utility bills are also high. Lots of basic amenities and some cool local businesses like Born to Game, which provides game events for things like Pokémon and Magic the Gathering. Lots of grocery store choices but no specifically health oriented ones. If you're looking to live in a safe, suburban area to raise your kids in then Middletown is it.
All that being said, we are trying to get out of the area. Just have never been very happy here and with the current state of the world the politics are killing Delaware for us.
