What it’s like

The place. Magnolia is a very small town in Kent County, Delaware, where neighbors are likely to know one another. Homes here are valued well above what many places in the county would ask, and the county's household incomes sit at a modest middle level. Winters are cold, though milder than in much of the northern country, and summers turn properly warm by July. Snow falls on some winter days, though not heavily, and rain and melted snow add up to a fairly wet year.

Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in shops, government, and restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Across Kent County, some of the largest workplaces are Bayhealth Hospital Kent Campus, Caesar Rodney School District and Delaware State University. The typical drive to work is a moderate one, and jobs across the county dipped slightly last year while unemployment has eased a little from a year earlier.

Things to do. Killens Pond State Park is a protected area a short drive away, a place for walking and time by the water. The Air Mobility Command Museum is also a short drive away and suits an afternoon indoors. For bigger water and open land, the Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge is a longer drive away, and Beaver Gut Ditch runs in or beside town.
