Long & Foster Real Estate
Pennsylvania - The "Keystone State"
Pennsylvania’s regions are a breathtaking combination of spectacular mountains and
lakes, saturated with history. No wonder it has also been nicknamed the “Keystone
State.”
A combination of big cities like Philadelphia to small towns like Allentown make Pennsylvania one of the most popular locations to
buy, sell or rent property in. Pennsylvania also boasts of a low crime rate, excellent
schools, growing job opportunities, low cost of living and optimum healthcare making
it a great place to stay.
The "Pennsylvania Dutch" region in south-central Pennsylvania is one of the favorite
locations of people looking to buy homes and real estate property. Pennsylvania
Germans, including the Amish and the Mennonites, dominate the area around the cities
of
Lancaster,
York, and Harrisburg, with smaller numbers extending northeast to the
Allentown-Bethlehem-Easton area and up the Susquehanna River Valley.

Pennsylvania Regions
Philadelphia Real Estate
Philadelphia Real Estate
Most Americans consider Philadelphia as the ‘launching pad’ for our nation. A tour
of Independence Hall in Philadelphia’s Olde City section introduces us to the place
where the Founding Fathers drafted the Constitution and began the process of going
to war for our independence. There are many other museums in the area specializing
in U.S. history, including such gems as the Maritime Museum, the Constitution Center,
the African-American Cultural and Historical Museum, and the the Mutter Museum. The Mutter features medical oddities including a lifecast of Change and Eng, the famous Siamese Twins. Elfreth’s
Alley in Philadelphia is the oldest continuously-occupied neighborhood in the United
States. They even host an annual house tour.
The suburbs are full of history, too. The Main Line, derived from the Main Line
of the Pennsylvania Railroad, is the name for a series of suburbs to the west which
include
Haverford and
Wayne. Ephrata, Pennsylvania, is the home of the Ephrata Cloisters,
a museum housed in the buildings of an old religious community.
The Brandywine Valley offers lots of historic sites, including the battlefield from
the Battle of Brandywine, now a park; the Brandywine River Museum, housed on property
formerly belonging to the famous artist family, the Wyeths; and Longwood Gardens,
one of the largest public gardens in the country.

Homes in Southern Pennsylvania
Homes in Southern Pennsylvania
Southern Pennsylvania is a fast-growing part of Long & Foster’s business. Many people
are choosing to buy homes here, rather than closer to D.C., because of lower home
prices. Today Long & Foster operates five
sales offices in Southern Pennsylvania, and more are on the way soon.
Southern Pennsylvania consists of lovely green, rolling hills, beautiful scenery,
and a growing housing market. Cities such as
York, Harrisburg, Shrewsbury,
Hanover, and
Gettysburg are seeing considerable growth. For example, in Gettysburg, new
housing developments are being built. Many people now buy homes in the Gettysburg
area and commute into
Washington, D.C.
Southern Pennsylvania has plenty of good roads to get around, as well. I-76, the
country’s oldest highway, I-81, and I-83 all run through Southern Pennsylvania.
