Do you have any idea where Upper Prov is? Right smack dab along the 422 corridor, between Collegeville and Phoenixville. I made that drive all the time. I do have an appreciation for how bad it can be, but I also think it's still not a long commute from those areas to KOP, and I think if you like the area, for the quality of schools and prices of houses it's worth it. |

If you are looking for bargain housing, check the often overlooked town of Bridgeport, just south of Norristown.
If you want something trendier, or are looking for a luxury apartment, check out Conshohocken.
Those two towns are midway between your places of employment. Great places to live, and you will have short commutes.

I don't know what I was thinking - I thought you were in KOP or right around there.
And the commute is still bad! |

Yeah, really. Plymouth, Whitemarsh, Ft. Washington or KOP. |
