Laurel is a former bustling town turned rural community
When it was incorporated in 1883, Laurel was one of the wealthiest towns in Delaware until a fire in the summer of 1899 destroyed the north side of Market Street. Today, the town is a mostly rural community with comparatively lower-priced homes. Parts of Laurel’s past are still visible: The area has 15 sites on the National Register of Historic Places. “It’s a very quiet, small town with more affordable homes than other parts of the state,” says Beth Conaway, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty, who’s been selling homes in the area for nearly five years.
Laurel is a largely residential neighborhood full of old rustic homes.
Broad Creek separates Laurel from its northern neighbor, Woodland Heights.

Shopping and Dining along Central Avenue
Along Central Avenue, there are locally owned restaurants like Laurel Pizzeria and Abbott's on Broad Creek for American favorites. The town’s newest eatery, Smash N' Dash Burgery, has quickly become a staple. Tienda Latina La Bendición sells groceries on Market Street, while Food Lion is in the north end of town.
Smash N' Dash is known all around Laurel for its famous hamburgers.
Abbott's on Broad Creek sits right next to the water and has an outdoor patio for summer dining.

Commuting via U.S. Route 13
Laurel is car dependent because of its rural streetscape. “There’s a good number of people who commute to Salisbury for work,” says Conaway. Commuters can take U.S. Route 13 south 15 miles to get to Salisbury and north 42 miles to get to Dover. TidalHealth Nanticoke is the closest hospital, located 7 miles north. The closest airport, Salisbury Regional, is 18 miles south.
