The area provides more home for the money than many larger East Coast metros, while still offering a variety of restaurants, cultural attractions, outdoor recreation, and family-friendly communities. Its central location also makes it convenient to places like Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C., and the surrounding suburbs offer a range of housing options, from established neighborhoods to quieter, more rural settings.
