[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I think it depends on your budget.[/b] If you want to be able to walk or bike to the beach, North OC is worth considering. While it's very commercial, it doesn't attract the unruly crowd in the summers. I recommend you look north of the high rises and on the bayside, especially near Northside Park, where there are quiet residential areas and you will have more choices than in some of the other towns. You could also extend your search into Fenwick, although you won't find as much on the market there.[/quote]

Yeah, without a budget this is really hard to answer. MD/DE beach properties will run the gamut from $300K-$20M and what you are looking to spend is going to influence the best place for you. Proximity to the beach is another huge factor as well as how much of a walkable town you want. There are more secluded beaches in northern DE but they are walkable to nothing but the beach. Which is fine, if that's what you want. But more information would be helpful.

Also, consider whether you want to retire to this place eventually or use it strictly as a getaway. Places like Selbyville or Ocean Pines or Ocean View aren't ideal for a weeklong vacation but if you live in that area, you aren't going to want to deal with beach traffic every day of the summer. And you want to be close to everyday amenities year-round that are harder to get to from a house right on the ocean. Those places also offer a nice community for year-round residents with lots of activities and social gatherings.  [/quote]
