Milford : Delaware

Milford is a town of just under 10,000 people near the coast of Delaware and the city of Lewes. The population is growing very rapidly as the area's beaches, lower taxes, and proximity to Baltimore and Washington attract retirees and others looking for a less frantic pace of life.
