About Millsboro

Situated along the headwaters of the Indian River in Sussex County, Millsboro offers a comfortable small-town setting with easy access to Delaware's Atlantic beaches. Routes 113 and 24 run right through the area, making it a simple 20- to 30-minute drive to coastal spots like Rehoboth and Bethany Beach. For people moving to southern Delaware, it has become a popular choice for those seeking a laid-back pace and more affordable housing than what is found directly on the coast.

Day-to-day living revolves around the water and a growing mix of local conveniences. Residents can spend weekends fishing on Millsboro Pond, relaxing at Cupola Park, or grabbing lunch at a diner downtown. Families are served by the Indian River School District, and everyday errands along Route 113 are quick and manageable. With its deep agricultural roots and friendly atmosphere, Millsboro provides a welcoming community within an easy drive of the ocean.
