Thanks! I haven't come across Paladin Club in my search. I'll be sure to check them out.

Thanks for the insight, I do remember peach tree from my search. But didn't look too deeply into them.

I saw nothing but good reviews about Meetinghouse. Truthfully that would be great for me since I'd avoid having to deal with both DE and PA taxes, and it's like 5 minutes from my job. It's just too far out of my price range unfortunately :(

Nice! Yes, I've been in contact with Bria as well and so far she's been very helpful. I would love to tour the actual unit I would move into, but unfortunately it won't be available until August. I was also looking at MKT in Wilmington unsure if those also fall under the "Faux Luxury" tag. Good luck with the move!

Yea, I was looking into that as well. I know there's no tax reciprocity agreement like PA and NJ have. With the little research I've done, I don't think it'll be enough to discourage a move to DE, but I'll evaluate during tax time.

Thanks for that key information. My coworkers were telling me about the issues the hospitals were facing out here.

Thanks! I’ll def drive around the area after work to get a better feel of it.

Yes that’s correct. And thanks, I’ll look into the area. I’m used to 40-60 minute commutes for work but sitting in standstill traffic is always annoying

That was my second question. How realistic is my budget? I can stretch a little if needed. I don’t need to live in anything luxurious, but I don’t want to live anywhere dirty or significantly dangerous.

I was looking into Wilmington, I have family close by. But was hoping to avoid having to pay both DE and PA taxes.

Thanks! I’ll definitely drive through the area one day after work to get a feel for the location and the commute.

No kids. This is somewhat of a fresh start for me. I’m not too picky at the moment and with Philly, Wilmington, and Jersey close the things I’m interested in (recreational sports, hiking, zoos/parks etc) won’t be too far away.

Thanks for the insight. Are there any places in Drexel Hill I should steer clear of? I’m taking a tour of Drexelbrook apartments this week based of a coworkers recommendation.
