Bear is a census-designated place (CDP) in New Castle County, Delaware, United States. The population was 19,371 at the 2010 census.
Originally a small crossroads in a rural area, about 14 miles (23 km) south of Wilmington, the area supported small farms growing mainly corn and cattle. In the late 1980s and 1990s Bear became a popular location for the construction of sprawling housing developments and shopping centers along U.S. Route 40. Much of Bear runs along the highway, and extends to approximately Delaware Route 896.

The beautiful surrounding landscape allows for enjoyable strolls around the complex. The neighbors are friendly and greet with hand waves or short conversations. Clearly, because of the COVID crisis we've kept our distance thwarting the opportunity for closer bonds and involvement in community activities.
