What Locals Say about Bear

Review Highlights

Bear, DE: easygoing suburban living with parks, roomy yards, and quick access to I-95 and Route 1. People like quiet, family vibes, Lums Pond, dog parks, and fast trips to shops and Wilmington. People dislike dog waste, scarce sidewalks, train noise, car dependence, and holiday I-95 traffic.

"Keep your kids OUT THE STREET some neighborhoods don’t have playgrounds so if you have a yard make sure you utilize it for your children and teach them NOT to play run or walk in the middle of the street even more so when a car is around "

"Easy access to 95 and route 1. Nearby stores within a 5 mile radius in both directions. Appo School district is preferred for most. Our Neighborhood is tucked back away from any main roads. Traffic is non existent and neighborhood is quiet. Traveling to local restaurants and entertainment is easy and within ten minutes. Commute to PHILADELPHIA and airport is approximately one hour. Traveling during summer travel and holiday weekends is painful on 95 and surrounding roads with influx and outflux of people traveling. "

Types of apartment in Bear, DE

Bear, DE apartments are mostly garden-style communities and low-rise buildings from the late 1900s and early 2000s. Many have brick fronts, vinyl siding, simple balconies, and large parking lots. Around Route 40 and Pulaski Highway, apartments often sit near shopping centers and main roads, so access is easy but traffic can be part of the setting. In the Glasgow area, you can also find townhome-style rentals and some duplexes with small patios or attached garages.

Farther south toward Red Lion, rentals often shift toward newer townhouses and single-family houses for rent with wider setbacks and cul-de-sacs. Near Lums Pond, you might see more detached houses with siding, shutters, and larger yards, plus a smaller number of apartments tucked into residential sections. Interiors in many apartments include open living rooms, basic eat-in kitchens, and in-unit laundry in newer places, while older units can have smaller rooms and less storage. Exterior style stays practical across Bear, and the main tradeoff is often road access versus a quieter setting.
