Delco Town Among Money Mag's 'Best 50 Places To Live In The US'

MEDIA, PA — Things are good in Media. At least that's according to Money Magazine, which recently included the Delaware County town in its list of the "The 50 Best Places to Live in the U.S."

The publication's list was based on "rigorous research and data-driven analysis."

"This year’s Best Places to Live list celebrates cities and towns where a thriving economy meets affordability, diversity and an exceptional quality of life," the publication said.

With those factors considered, Media was named among the best places to live in the nation.

Here's part of what Money Magazine had to say about Media:

Amenities are plentiful here, for one. Ridley Creek State Park, a 10-minute drive northwest, offers miles of hiking and horse riding trails and a well-stocked creek for fishing. Rustic farmers markets connect residents with cheap and fresh produce, and the many restaurants peppered around town span Italian, American and Asian fare. Media’s walkability makes most of these activities doable on foot. The town shuts down vehicular traffic on State Street, its main thoroughfare, once a week during warmer months, allowing restaurants to seat outdoor diners right on the street.

According to the magazine, Media has a population of 5,846, a median home price of $300,000, and an unemployment rate of 2.7 percent.
