Georgetown’s central location lets residents enjoy a range of outdoor activities, from hiking through state forests to digging their feet into the sandy Atlantic coastline. This southern Delaware town also offers a mix of home ages and a downtown shopping and dining hub. “It’s a growing town that’s just 30 minutes from the beach,” says Beth Conaway, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty, who’s been selling homes in the area for nearly five years. Georgetown serves as the seat for Sussex County, so it's also a hub for local government jobs.
The Georgetown Family Restaurant is a well-know icon located on East Market Street.
Broadkill Beach is just a short hop from Milton and is a less-crowded option that Rehoboth and Dewey Beaches to the south.
