Bucks County

The best county in the state of Pennsylvania. Also one of the most affluent. Part of the Philadelphia metropolitan area (aka Delaware Valley) Bucks is home to rolling hills, beautiful farmland, cute towns, great shopping, and diversity. Politically liberal. The roads here are much better than other parts of the state. And people drive faster. Usually divided into three parts:

1) Upper Bucks - land of rolling pastures and picturesque villages, quirky places (Haycock Township ;) and the rather large Lake Nockamixon.

2) Central Bucks - the wealthiest part, known for its premier school district of the same name; Doylestown, New Hope (PA's version of Provincetown) and Buckingham are the richest areas

3) Lower Bucks - most urban part that is closest to Philadelphia; lots of racial and economic diversity; Langhorne, Sesame Place and Bensalem are the major attractions w/ tons of commercial development

All in all, an awesome place to live. Sure taxes are a bit high and owning a house is expensive, but generally, people are friendly and welcome change. If your going to move to Pennsylvania, move here!

Montgomery County

A fabulous county in Pennsylvania. One of the richest, and part of the Delaware Valley, less commonly known as the Philadelphia metro area. Montgomery, likes its nearby sister Bucks, is both rural and suburban with many similar characteristics. Its biggest claim to fame is that it is the only county in the state of PA with the greatest amount of retail. Yeah it beats out Pittsburgh, big time. Have you ever heard of King of Prussia? It is the largest mall in the country based on actual retail space. The Mall of America is only larger since it has an amusement park. And the Philadelphia Premium Outlets are just up the road. Suburban Square, the oldest outdoor shopping center in the country is found in Ardmore, along the ritzy Main Line. But shopping isn't the only notable thing about Montgomery. It has acres of open space, and the vast Green Lane Reservoir Park up north in the Upper Perkiomen Valley. Not to mention the fact that Montco (its abbreviation by locals) is one of the fastest growing counties in PA. Plus its got heavily-rooted German heritage, as noted in the towns of Schwenksville, Lederach and Souderton. The only drawbacks might be the oppressive congestion on Rt. 422 and extensive suburban sprawl. But who cares! Montgomery County has it all!

Those who live in Montgomery County are blessed with some of the best shopping in the U.S. and a stellar quality of life.

New Jersey

Land of conspicuous consumption, Italians, dark hair, guidos, aggressive drivers, malls, diners, high property taxes, heavily-accented syllables, jughandles and the infamous Jersey shore. I think that sums it up.

If you want to make sure that your mortgage payment is among the highest in the country, live in New Jersey.

The friendliest people are not found in New Jersey.
