Our family is in for a culture shock as my husband is about to retire after 22 years in the Navy, and we are thinking of accepting a job at the Hope Creek Nuclear plant. We decided Delaware makes more sense with cost of living over New Jersey and are thinking of the Wilmington area. Now mind you, we are from Seattle so the commute is NOTHING for us. We are both 40 and have 3 kids, 15, 9 and 6, so schools and a decent neighborhood are key, we will rent for a bit until we decide to purchase something. Im in the medical field so will try and fins something part time once we get there. Please help as this will be a MAJOR shock for the kids especially, as we have been lucky and never had to move due to his job. Thanks in advance!!!

Hockessin is a great place. It's outside of Wilmington, but you can get to shopping pretty quickly. You're in between AI DuPont hospital for children which is one of the best in the country and then you have Christiana Hospital which is great as well. It's in a fairly good school district, however DE has a good amount of private and charter schools as well.
If you're interested let me know. I'm about to sell my house!!! Practically giving it away to move it My husband has been commuting from Ohio for two years so it's time to move I think!
best of luck moving across the country!
