If ever there was a ‘small town’ Magnolia would be it. With a startlingly petite community of just 225, this town redefines the term ‘small town’. It is a place where community is not just a word but is an actual lifestyle where people know each other very well. Welcome to Kent County, to the small town of Magnolia in beautiful Delaware.
This charmingly miniscule town is set in an idyllic setting and has one of the most unique municipal boundaries — that of an almost perfect circle, representing interestingly the sense of shared brotherhood or neighborliness. The residents of this picturesque town take pride in their history and claim both Dutch and Swedish heritage. Magnolia is situated just south of the Dover Air Force base.
Though the town is still quite small, it still receives new residents yearly and is taking preparatory steps towards a potential population growth by building new home communities. Chestnut Ridge by K. Hovnanian Homes is the largest master-planned community in the town, with new homes already being sold by local home builders starting from the lower $200s to the lower $300s. These homes are family friendly and are a great investment. Local home builders who can help you in your purchase of a new home include Hampton Hills, Handler Homes and J I Beiler Homes.
In terms of employment opportunities, there are plenty of openings in a small town that is still growing. Most residents are employed by the school district and the local government, though there are some residents who live in Magnolia and commute to work in other neighboring cities and towns.
For recreation, the residents of Magnolia can attend any of the several clubs available in the town, which include health and wellness classes. Trails and paths are also available for those who enjoy being outdoors. Several picnic areas for those lovely Saturday and Sunday afternoons are there too.
Though a small town, Magnolia boasts some of the qualities and values not readily available even in larger towns and cities. It is a great place to raise a family.
