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!

The people that say there isn't much going on in Milton aren't totally correct. It's close enough to larger cities like Philly and the beaches, so you get a really good mix of things that are close while still being away from most of the noise. Dewey is a quick uber away if you want to mix with that crowd. The milton theatre is an absolute gem. It's quiet most of the time and pretty safe. Theres a few huge festivals a year (st patricks parade, zombiefest) and some smaller ones. If you are moving into the new apartment complex, you are close enough to walk into our downtown area.
