What's it like to live in this communtiy? The community's history is steeped in innovation. The metro area is home to the real-life Railroad from the Monopoly board game, along with glimpses into the Allegheny Aqueduct and a more than 100-year-old, seven-story pagoda that overlooks the bordering mountain formation. During the 19th century, people from all over the world were drawn here by the promise of work in the thriving manufacturing and transportation industries. As a result, the region's community is diverse. The metro area, particularly suburban communities, continue to attract new residents with its low cost of living and low crime rates. The city also benefits from a convenient location: It's just a stone's throw away from
Philadelphia, and residents can easily access
Lancaster and Amish country.

What is there to do in town? Active residents will find plenty of ways to burn energy. The metro area has miles of trails that are ideal for walking, jogging and biking. During the warmer months, kayaking and canoeing along the local River are particularly popular pastimes. Those who prefer to watch sports can cheer on a Philadelphia Phillies' minor league baseball team.
What's the cost of living here? The cost of living is well below that of many other metro areas, thanks in large part to affordable housing costs. The median home sale price in the city proper is lower than the state average, although home prices tend to be higher in suburban areas.
