The Lifestyle
Where World-Renowned Culture Meets World-Class Opportunity
Living in Philadelphia is an experience unlike any other. With a remarkable history and a vibrant community of museums and culinary institutions, Greater Philadelphia has become one of the world’s finest destinations for food and culture.
Our region also provides residents with unparalleled access to green space for outdoor recreation, including 30 public gardens and the 9,200-acre Fairmount Park – one of the world’s largest city park systems. Meanwhile, our eight professional sports teams (yes, eight) have vaulted us into the ranks of the best sports cities in America.
Thanks to Philly’s robust public transportation system, getting around to any of these amenities is a breeze. Trains connect Center City’s metro area with suburbs in the tri-state area, Philadelphia International Airport, and nearby major cities, such as Boston, New York City, and Washington, D.C.
The Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) — one of the country’s largest systems of subways, trolleys, and buses — makes navigating in, out, and around the city convenient and affordable. For even quicker trips around your neighborhood? Indego, Philadelphia’s official bike sharing service, offers over 250 stations and 2,000 bikes city-wide, letting locals run errands and meet friends with ease.
You’ll also find more opportunities for quality education than the national average, with top-ranked K-12 school districts such as Radnor Township and Tredyffrin-Easttown. More than 100 higher education institutions complete Greater Philadelphia’s education pipeline.
