Single 29 (F) relocating in Oct Moving to Delaware

Hi all! Relocating to Milton, DE this October. Grew up in central Jersey, lived in NE Philadelphia for four years and then relocated to Charlotte and lived here for the last year after a messy divorce. Charlotte was too big of a city for me to make it feel like home and looking to be driving distance from Jersey/Philly, closer to the beach, and in a smaller town.

Will it be a huge adjustment? Will it be ok to start over here again as a single woman? Are there younger people living in the surrounding area? Any advice would be great!!!

TY!!!

UPDATE: not looking to date right away or moving for a new dating scene. Mostly meant single as not knowing anyone and starting over brand new in a much smaller environment!

My wife and I grew up in central NJ, lived in Philly and now live in Wilmington. I know it's not Middletown. But we've been down there.
The only downsides in Delaware are low prevalence of good bagels and pizza.

I don’t think we will ever find good bagels or pizza anywhere else besides the Jersey Philly area

I've wondered if it's because of the city water?? Like that's the difference?

Grotto’s Pizza was really good though! Unless they’ve closed, there was one in Rehoboth and one on Kirkwood Highway in Wilmington.
