About Frankford

Tucked into southeastern Sussex County along Route 113, Frankford is a quiet town of around 800 residents. Though it grew out of an early 1800s trading hub near Indian River Bay, today it is a calm community surrounded by open farmland. It offers a friendly, small-town feel where daily life moves at an easy, comfortable pace.

Historic sea captains' houses give the center of town plenty of charm, and families are served by the Indian River School District. Because Frankford sits just a few miles inland, residents enjoy peaceful neighborhood living while staying a quick fifteen-to-twenty-minute drive from Bethany Beach and Fenwick Island. It is a great spot for anyone looking for quiet coastal-country living.
