Ellendale, DE

Ellendale is a quiet, close-knit town in central Sussex County that grew up as a nineteenth-century railroad crossroads. Today, its position along Route 113 and Route 16 makes it a handy spot for commuters heading to Milford or anyone making a quick weekend trip out to the Delaware beaches. With the quiet woods of Redden State Forest right next door and a relaxed small-town pace, it is an appealing option for newcomers who want space, lower living costs, and easy access across the region.
