Harrington, DE Homes for Rent

The community of Harrington blends a small downtown area and residential streets amid central Delaware’s rolling farmland. It is the home of the Delaware State Fairgrounds, which in turn are the site of the Harrington Casino & Raceway and annual Delaware State Fair. “Harrington is the epitome of a small country town, with a very close-knit community and a distinct downtown,” says Maggie Haass, a co-owner and broker with Burns & Ellis Realtors. “There are lots of major farmers in Delaware that are centered out of Harrington. Its claim to fame is obviously the state fairgrounds, racetrack and casino.” Despite the bustle of the fairgrounds, locals enjoy quiet living close to U.S. Route 13, which runs through the city. “Harrington is definitely known for its slow pace of life, country living and spaced-out, quieter communities with larger lots,” Haass says. “Agriculture is our biggest industry in southern Delaware, and Harrington is certainly kind of the heart of that.” Many homes are just a few minutes’ drive from local restaurants and markets along Harrington’s downtown strip. Residential streets surround downtown Harrington. “It’s almost completely single-family homes,” Haass
