Historic homes and tight inventory in a walkable neighborhood
Take a walk in Cool Spring Park Historic District, and you can spot angular architecture and peaked roofs of Gothic Revival homes alongside the rambling porches and turreted facades of Queen Annes along the shady sidewalks of the neighborhood. Homes tend to range in price from $270,000 up to nearly $1 million. Farnan says the market is tight in Delaware and if you see a listing go up, expect it to go fast, especially given the neighborhood's central location.

You'll see people out and about walking their dogs, heading to historic Cool Springs or Tilton Park, or driving downtown to catch a show. "You can go out and walk to numerous restaurants around the area, and they're all close to the area," Farnan says.
