I have grown up in Chester County, and everyone here is caring, affectionate, and supportive! I wouldn't change a thing about it.
Beautiful county with a mix of rural, suburban and urban areas. Amazing schools - both public and private. Plenty of employment opportunities of all kinds. Very family oriented place to live.
Living in Chester County really feels like Hannah Montana, living the best of both worlds. In some of the most famous parts of the county, such as West Chester, the ambiance is a more rural/suburban feel. It's a very family-friendly and peaceful community. What's better is the accessibility to Philly. If you're looking for a place where it's not too busy and crowded like the city nor boring and green like the countryside, then this county is the perfect middle ground.
