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.
