Our Take

Bear, Delaware is a suburban neighborhood with a comfortable atmosphere, decent income levels, and a relatively low crime rate. However, it lacks walkability and public transportation options, which might be a drawback for some residents. The median home price is relatively affordable compared to neighboring cities.
