Newark, home to the University of Delaware, has a high student population, leading many to seek upscale residences in the surrounding areas rather than in the city itself. Let's address this point first.

The most notable area is Greenville. This region has been home to the DuPont family for a long time, and the median home prices here currently range from $900,000 to $1.2 million. In comparison, the overall median price in Newark is around $350,000, making Greenville's prices nearly three times higher.

The Hockessin area is also worth considering. It features large lots and a quiet rural atmosphere, with median home prices around $600,000 to $700,000. Further west is Montchanin, which still has many large properties due to its historical ties to the DuPont family.

The background for these areas becoming upscale residential neighborhoods is clear. In the early 20th century, the headquarters of the chemical company DuPont was established in Delaware, leading executives and management to build large estates in Greenville and Montchanin, a trend that continues today. This area is characterized by large private estates, earning it the nickname "Chateau Country."

The price gap between downtown Newark and Greenville is around threefold, and when considering lot sizes, the actual asset disparity is even greater. Newark has many small properties aimed at the university rental market, while Greenville's market is primarily composed of single-family homes.

Although the Korean community in Delaware is relatively small, it is common to see families settling in Newark or Hockessin due to their proximity to jobs in Philadelphia or Wilmington. After establishing some assets, there are cases where interest expands towards Greenville.

Delaware has no sales tax and lower property tax rates compared to nearby Pennsylvania and New Jersey, making it an attractive area for families considering relocation for tax reasons. However, there are variations in school districts and commuting distances, so individual verification is necessary.

When looking for properties, many listings in Greenville and Montchanin tend to have large lot sizes and long management histories, so it is advisable to have the plumbing and heating systems inspected separately.
