Philadelphia, also known The City of Brotherly Love, is full of culture and history as seen by The Philadelphia Art Museum, Liberty Bell, and Franklin Institute. Even though it's the 6th largest metropolitan area in the country, it has a much smaller feel to it than other large cities since it's broken up by defined, tight-knit neighborhoods. Additionally, rent here is much cheaper than other large cities. If you decide to make Philly your next home, you'll be moving to a gem of a city that's often forgotten about between the more trendy New York and DC options. |
