Delaware land real estate

Delaware land overview

At only 96 miles long and 35 miles wide, Delaware is the 2nd-smallest state in the U.S with under 1.3 million acres. Its home to sandy beaches, tidal creeks, coastal forests, swampland, rolling hills, and a major river—The Delaware River. Overall, land in the state is generally level, with the lowest average elevation of any state in the U.S. It's strategically located in the Northeast megalopolis, meaning Baltimore, Boston, Philadelphia, New York, and Washington, D.C. are all within a relatively close proximity. Kent, New Castle, and Sussex Counties are the state's only 3 counties, the fewest of any state. When you add beaches, parks, biking, museums, festivals, colonial towns, a wildlife refuge, and historic trails to the mix, Delaware is a truly unique experience for residents and tourists alike.
