Philadelphia-Area Information

Philadelphia offers a unique variety of attractions, culture, entertainment and activity that is sure to meet everyone’s needs.  This second largest city on the east coast is an urban hotspot – from outdoor cafes along Rittenhouse Square to the cobble–stoned streets in Old City and Society Hill which are blocks from the hospital.  

Philadelphia is a city where colonial homes on cobble-stoned streets lie next to affluent avenues filled with museums, cafes and lively night spots.  The City of Brotherly Love is one of the most ethnically integrated cities in the United States.  It is home to a diverse population descended from African American, Asian, Eastern European, Irish and Italian immigrants. 

Some residents choose to live in the city for the ease and convenience of living near Jefferson plus they enjoy having immediate access to diverse entertainment.  However, the suburbs of Philadelphia do not lack for entertainment possibilities.  Current residents live in New Jersey as well as West of the City, allowing for a wide range of living possibilities.
