Delaware is known as the small state with lots of beaches. The town retains its small town charm because of strict building codes, but has expanded heavily outside the city limits. It is no longer just a summer resort with festivals all year long. There are numerous restaurants, from casual to gourmet, and plenty of selections year-round. Currently there are SIX gay bars, most within walking distance to town and range from the intimate to disco.
Real estate is very attractive for both summer homes and permanent residence.
There is a fine selection of condos, townhouses and single family homes, priced from the affordable to the ridiculous. The town is very open and supportive of its gay and lesbian community.
