Mercer County is a great county with a lot to offer for the very affordable cost of living. The schools are phenomenal, the people are great, there are a lot of parks and lakes, the housing is nice, there is plenty of trade in Mercer, Grove City, Sharon/Hermitage, and Greenville. It is in a great location near the Ohio Line and is located directly between Pittsburgh and Erie. There are also a lot of churches and it is great for families!
Mercer County is rapidly developing! More jobs and retail stores are moving in! The public schools are phenomenal, the real estate market is improving, and Mercer County is one of the best places to live for the money!
I love living in Mercer County. One of the reasons why is because there isn't much crime in Mercer County. I know no matter where you go, there is always somebody, but I feel safe here. One thing I would like to see change is how some Penndot workers should get out more and work better for the road conditions.
