Aside from the absence of sales tax, Delaware also has a number of other tax advantages including one of the country’s lowest real estate tax rates. In addition, families also enjoy relatively low income tax rates, Social Security benefits are tax-exempt, and people over the age of 60 can exempt up to $12,500 of their pension and retirement income from Delaware state taxes.
Another great reason to move to Delaware is found in the fact that it is home to award-winning beaches, plenty of beautiful community parks, walking and biking trails, and beautiful green spaces. Delaware is truly the place to be for any lover of the outdoors. Delaware is famed for its pristine, family-friendly beaches and this draws thousands of day-trippers each and every summer. When you move to Delaware, you’ll have all of these beautiful spaces right in your own backyard!
Finally, the last great reason Poseidon Moving and Storage can provide for moving to Delaware is the fact that it is a state with such a great central location.

Long Distance Moving Tips
Now that you know more about what life is like in Delaware, it’s time for a long distance moving tip from our high-quality movers to help you start preparing. One of the best tips we can supply when it comes to a long distance move to Delaware is saving money by purging unnecessary items before your move. The more items you take with you across the country, the more it will cost you. That’s just a fact. In order to cut down on price, you should cut down on the number of items you will be transporting!
The three best ways to get rid of items are by donating, selling, and tossing. Certain items, such as media items like CDs, DVDs, video games, and books are easy enough to sell. Blankets and winter coats are also in high demand by charities in cities with especially cold winters. Cheap, bulky furniture items are often not worth the work that it takes to move them and these are items you should consider donating as well. Always downsize when considering a long distance move! You’ll be happy you did when you see just how much you can save!

Ky & his crew were amazing. Punctual, careful, friendly, and they had moving down to a science. They made sure to take care of all my furniture, wrap everything that I had not wrapped yet myself, and even double wrap everything that I had already attempted myself. 10/10 and will use again!!!
