All right peoples, my parents are very tired of living in northeastern NJ right across Manhattan (very high property taxes, congested 24/7, etc etc...)
With my sister also in NJ and us in RI ( 4 grandkids total) they want to stay relatively close and are strongly considering a move to DE. They are city-oriented folks and they take advantage of all NYC has to offer as they go there frequently on the weekends. They also travel abroad twice a year and take advantage of the proximity to newark airport. My dad still works and my mom is retired. They are concerned that once my dad retires (2017 or 18 at the latest when he turns 70) won't be able to continue to do the same. Their property tax sits at 14K right now with the house paid for. Also, he drives a company car so no insureance/gas/maintenance, etc and of course once he retires they'll need a car (mom does not drive)
Anyways, what does the forum collective wisdom thinks of DE and what it would offer?
Thanks in advance for your input
