Things to Do in Sussex
Sussex’s eastern portion is home to most of Delaware’s beaches on the Atlantic Coast as well as many seaside resorts, while the western side is the center of agriculture and industry with more acres of arable land under cultivation than anywhere else in the state. The region is home to an extensive system of Southern saltwater and freshwater wetlands, notably the Great Cypress Swamp, the Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge, and the Trap Pond State Park containing the northernmost strand of Bald Cypress trees in the U.S. The several festivals, such as the Bethany Beach Jazz Funeral, the Nanticoke Indian Pow Wow in Oak Orchard, the Rehoboth Beach Chocolate Festival, the Rehoboth Beach Independent Film Festival, the Rehoboth Beach Jazz Festival, and the Seaford Riverfest are great opportunities to spend quality time with your family.
Top Industries in Sussex
The county produces the most broiler and lima beans in the whole nation making agriculture the primary force behind the local economy. Additionally, the manufacturing sector continues to diversify, including aeronautical, construction, craft brewing/bottling, fabrication, and pharmaceutical.
What is a Quick Move-In Home?

Who Should Buy a Quick Move-In Home?
Inventory homes are great for anyone who wants to live in a new construction home. Quick move-in houses have the same modern layouts, beautiful features, and quality materials found in any other newly built home. Because the vast majority of the construction process has been completed before the buyer engages with the builder, you can manage your move, without having to worry about construction timelines.
If you need to move with children, buying a quick move-in home lets you live in a new home in a fantastic neighborhood, without the stress of building the house. You can move into a community zoned to the right school district for your kids, cut down on the stress of buying a house, and make the move before the school year starts.
Military families looking for off post housing should consider buying inventory homes. You can invest in a home you love, built by a builder you trust. Families relocating with a military spouse should ask builders about any special incentives for service members.
