-cheaper real estate in Philly area. However, it won’t appreciate like real estate in the DC area. If you move to a burb you will feel like a king compared to DC prices, but again, it might lose value. People aren’t flocking to move to Philly.

-more salt of the earth people.

-everything is cheaper than DC.

-closer proximity to NY

-violence and rougher schools. Family member moved from Fairfax County to South Jersey school and was in shock at the daily violent fights in her middle school. But she applied and got into a magnet public that she’s much happier in. She’s also getting straight As bc the education isn’t as challenging as the DC area public education.

-less of the highly educated and refined kind in Philly area.

-less diversity. Majority are Italian-American immigrants. While there are some great restaurants, in the burbs there is very little diverse dining like in the DC area.

-jobs. Not sure what your job situation is, but if you aren’t in the medical field or working a remote gig, this should be a consideration. [/quote]
