They say that the golden rule in real estate is LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION! One of the factors that make the location of a home so important is the crime rate in the immediate area.
One of the best ways to get an idea of the recent crime and the crime rate in the area is to call the local Police Station. They can be very helpful in providing you with facts, figures and recent reports.
Another quick, back of the book way is to visit http://php.delawareonline.com/crime/index.php . This "Delaware Crime Map" shows Delaware with a color coded areas that keep statistics for reports of violent and serious crimes in Delaware. Once you have found your "area", you can double click on it and see the breakdown of crime. The categories that crime is broken down into are Arson, Drugs, Property, Violent, Weapons and Other.
I hope this information helps! Please feel free to give me a call at 302-478-6425 or visit my website at www.billiechubb.com if you should have any questions about this information or any other real estate questions. It is always my pleasure to assist you in anyway possible.
