Congrats. Susie. I have followed the Delaware 55 communities thread since the beginning. I looked in slower lower delaware by Ocean View and Bethany,Dagsboro for about 2 years also as a possible retirement state. After numerous visits I have found the state to be beautiful. As far as our wants we wanted to be 15 minutes to the beach and close to a hospital and family and restaurants and shopping. After the long search low and behold we found it in southern Ocean County by Long Beach Island. Actually in this part on NJ the homes were cheaper then where we were looking in Delaware. Only difference for us was the property taxes,1,500 to 2K in Del. versus 5,000 here. So the house was about 75K cheaper in this area of NJ versus Del. At this rate it will take 25 years for me to get even and if you figure in the federal and state deductions it really was much different for us. I don't plan on living that long. Northern NJ is a different story it's certainly cost effective to move from that area to Delaware or any other state for that matter.
