Camden
Camden is what happens when Dover needs a bedroom and a Walmart Supercenter in the same five-mile radius. Route 13 cuts the town in half, which is either convenient or character-defining depending on whether you're driving through or trying to cross on foot. The housing skews newer subdivisions and older ranchers, with prices that undercut Dover proper without giving up the commute. Caesar Rodney schools are the actual draw, and locals will tell you so within four minutes of meeting them. There's no downtown to speak of, which Camden has quietly decided is fine. Bring a car, lower your nightlife expectations, and the math works.
