Moving to Middletown, Delaware (Odessa: houses, living in, transportation)

[rek992001]

My wife and I are moving to Middletown and we've been looking at a few houses there. We've found a few areas that we like and was just looking for some feedback. One area is around Shallcross lake and the other was in the Misty Vale Farm sub-division. If anyone is living in either of those two areas and has some feedback, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I moved to the area east of Middletown and south of Odessa 3 years ago and am very happy with my decision. Others can give you more specific info on the two areas that you asked about, but you may wish to investigate how the new Route 301 may affect both areas. Here is the state website to the project. Delaware Department of Transportation - Projects Please message me if I can be of any assistance. I would be happy any way I can. Good luck.

Edit: I found this map of the Route 301 project and area developments that may help. http://www.deldot.gov/information/pr...ug09_Model.pdf

First off, thanks jdoll for the highway info, much appreciated. I think we're all set as far as not having to worry about the highway running through the back yard. We put an offer in, on a house(short sale) in Middletown and now we just have to wait and see. From what I've been told, we're looking at a minimum of 90 days or so before the bank makes a decision. I won't be coming down there till the end of Jan./early Feb. I will then need to find some work. So if anyone knows of any HVAC/R companies that are looking for help....I am just going to be on the apprentice level, but have a pretty good construction/mechanical (30 + years) background. Would really like to get into the commercial refrigeration side of things or facilities maintenance. But I'm not adverse to doing residential A/C or heat(gas or oil). Thanks again and I look forward to the move south.
