    "No public transportation not easy to commute. Must have vehicle to get around. Have to walk at least 1/2 mile just to get up public transportation stop."
  • Kyndmama
    "Millsboro is a nice place to live, in town it’s easy to walk from end to end. Lots of good shopping on the highway. The only downside is the schools and roads aren’t accommodating to the amount of residents that live here. It can talk several minutes to travel short distances during commuting time and beach traffic in summer. Still trying to pass a referendum to get larger schools, kids are packed in like sardines. Town has lots of potential, just got to get family friendly people to come out and support the community. "
  • Piconnect
    "My neighborhood sucks. People are unfriendly. Traffic is terrible. Roads are too narrow. There are no sidewalks. "
  • Kyndmama
    "It’s a nice area, plenary of families, we need more infrastructure for walking around, but besides that, it’s a great town to live in. I’m renting, and looking to buy a home here."
  • Mariaedavis
    "Nice quiet neighborhood. Close to everything but far enough away not to get caught up in traffic. The bay view is absolutely gorgeous"
  • Tammy R.
    "Lives in millsboro for 3 years..close knit family/community..loved it..want to move back if I am able to"
  • Wergonnam8kamark
    "Drive attentively. Be on the look out for stray dogs. Traffic is heavy here, always be watching you kids."
  • Bautij94
    "I am trying to move here and it seems impossible to find a place to rent. It seems like a great place to live but just impossible."
  • Roguegirl80
    "I've lived in my neighborhood for 9 years. The neighbors are friendly but everyone pretty much stays to themselves. The kids get together to play. Overall, it's a great area."
