Good neighborhoods between Hershey and Philadelphia (Lancaster, Downingtown: best suburbs, living in, move to)

[giffordrogers]

I am currently living in Hershey, PA and want to work in Philadelphia. My girlfriend works in Hershey so she would need to commute. I was wondering what are some of the best suburbs and neighborhoods between Hershey and Philly. (preferably about an hour or so from Hershey)

Thanks

According to a map search site, there are 97 miles between Philadelphia and Hershey, or one hour and 50 minutes. Midpoints that would be considered outer suburbs of Philly are few. The closest I could find was Parkesburg which is about 45 miles from Hershey. More notable towns like Downingtown, Exton, Thorndale and Frazer would be 60 miles to Hershey. If these aren't close enough to Hershey, you may want to re-post your question on the general Pennsylvania forum as well.

Depending on where you work in Philly. One option is to move to Lancaster area. If you are going to work in the city in Philadelphia, it may make more sense for you to take amtrak in for about $250/month.

I'd second this.
