Milford, DE Homes & Real Estate

Milford straddles the Kent and Sussex county line in central Delaware, on the Mispillion River. It has an older downtown with a riverfront walk, restaurants and small shops, and newer neighborhoods spread out to the east and south.

US-113 and Route 1 both pass close to town, so Dover is a straightforward drive north and Georgetown is a short drive south. Route 14 and Route 36 connect to the Delaware Bay shore and to the Cedar Creek and Slaughter Beach areas, and the ocean beaches at Rehoboth Beach and Lewes are reached on Route 1 to the south and east.

Bayhealth Hospital, Sussex Campus is located in Milford, which makes it a convenient base for healthcare workers and for anyone who wants a hospital close at hand. The Mispillion Riverwalk and Milford’s downtown parks give residents places to walk, and the Milford Ponds area has green space. Dover Air Force Base is a reasonable drive north. Grocery stores, restaurants and everyday services are along Route 1, US-113 and in town.

Housing here includes older homes near the downtown and river, townhomes and single-family houses in subdivisions built over the past several decades, and newer construction that has gone up in recent years. Rentals are part of the local market too, and The Key Group works with both buyers and landlords. Browse the current Milford homes or ask us for a free value.

Rentals are a real part of the Milford market, and The Key Group works with landlords and buyers alike. Homes in Milford can sit in Kent or Sussex County, so property taxes and services depend on the exact address, and we confirm both before you compare costs. A home within walking distance of the hospital campus will feel different from one in a subdivision off Route 1, and we are glad to go through those differences with you on a tour.
