I have lived in Middletown since 2003. It is a great place to purchase. There are a lot of new construction and Middletown is growing quickly. Even though there is a lot of growth, it still has a little bit of the country feel to it. Middletown is considered Below the Canal. Other areas close to Middletown is Odessa, Townsend, and Smyrna. The first 3 are locally known as the MOT Area. We are also close to the Maryland border as well (Cecil County).
There many professional who have moved to this area to get away from all the "hustle and bustle". However, if quiet and not so built up is more your style, Smyrna is most likely going to be the next Middletown. I know that the long term plan for Middletown is to grow it and have it be like a Metropolis like Wilmington. We are close to all major highways and local attractions. We are close to Baltimore, Philadelphia, New Jersey, and New York.
