Pennsylvania has all of the essentials for a great life— prominent world-ranked universities, fulfilling careers, top-ranked health institutions, four seasons, and an amazing history. But like you, there’s more to us than our résumé. Here, you can pursue your happiness to the fullest. Just ask our residents, who love and take pride in where they live and work — whether it’s a thriving downtown, walkable urbanscape, suburban neighborhood, or a small town in our beautiful countryside. Living in Pennsylvania goes beyond work and home — it’s a way of life. It can be yours, too.
