Hidden Treasure by the beach! 5 rating By Anonymous ( Jul 25, 2021) Very close to beach’s, many terrific restaurants, best of both worlds, just outside of Ocean City MD, without the taxes! negative reviews come from people that can’t afford to live here! ...Read More Read Less
A decaying town. 0.5 rating By Anonymous ( Mar 24, 2021) This town has gone downhill over the years. Unaffordable to get a quality place to live and even the slums are overpriced. Main street is a skeleton of what it used to be. You can smell the poultry plant and even that is not as bad as most of the workers have gone to Millsboro. ...Read More Places have gone out of business. The library is nice, small but nice. You have your Dollar General, Family Dollar, Liquor Store, Food Lion and a few restaurants that are nothing special. Like Millsboro some of the worst drivers possible. Delaware drivers are in general terrible drivers. I do not recommend living here. On the bright side, the community in general are nice enough. No social life here and that was before the Covid pandemic. Read Less
