More About West Chester PA

This town of 18,461 is a good hour outside of Philadelphia, close enough for a day trip or the odd commute, but far enough to feel totally independent of the metropolis. The local West Chester University injects the town with students who keep the place feeling lively and fuel the local economy every spring and fall. There is youth and energy in West Chester, which can’t always be found in rural American towns.

The downtown looks like it’s hardly changed from the 19th century, with old-fashioned storefronts and easily walkable blocks booming with fun shops and niche restaurants. West Chester is far from some hollowly trendy “hip town.” There is an artistic undercurrent and sense of community, a reflection of the surrounding natural beauty and scholastic pride, that makes West Chester come alive.
