Life insurers as employers located in Center City (Philadelphia, York: apartments, insurance)

[Johnland]

To people familiar with employers in Cennter City, can anyone tell me if there are any large life insurers located there? I currently work in statutory financial reporting for a large life insurer whose back office financial operations are located in Tampa. I've been considering a move a Philly for a change of scene. Ideally, I would like to look for similar type work. That would include a large life insurer whose financial operations are located in Center City. My plan would be to live close to work. In my past several visits to Philly, I really loved the urban scene it offers. I want to ditch the suburban sprawl existence of Tampa and go urban.

Not quite center city, but only about a 10 minute or under bus ride away (the 47 bus) and a two block walk. I would suggest looking in Washington Square West or Bella Vista (a bit south of the city, but even closer (about a 5 minute bus ride - same bus) to 6th and Wharton. You can walk into center city from Bella Vista - that's how close it is.

State Farm Insurance - Philadelphia
254 South 10th Street Philadelphia, PA

Right in center city. Washington Square West would be very close - just a few blocks away, but any area of center city would be walkable.

Check craigslist for apartments in either area.

Good luck and good decision.
