We came to the city for all sorts of reasons. Here's a story of one family of four and why they love city life...
To start off, I grew up in a rural area southern York County, a mere 5 minute drive to Maryland. Growing up I didn't feel a real connection to the community other than grade school and athletics.
Education brought me closer to the City, but my profession brought me into the City. I work for a community minded engineering consulting firm located downtown. While at school, I became friends with people from Red Lion and Hellam, and through one of these friends I met my wife, who grew up in the York area and owned a home in the City. So, my love and my career brought me to the City of York.
Through the years, my wife and I have grown from a couple into a family, we are now expecting our second child. A lot of family members ask, "Why do you live in the City?" Why not... There are great amenities, great culture, and great history all around us and within walking distance! And it's affordable! We love heading to Central Market every week to pick up fresh produce and meats and lunch from vendors that we have developed relationships with. We love going to a number of parks that are within walking distance from our 19th century home. I love getting up for an early morning run on the Rail Trail, or staying up late for an excellent Cap Live concert and going out for a pint at one of the local brewpubs. I love York City.
As our family grows, maybe we will move out of the City, but for now I'm loving every minute of City Living!
