If budget isn't an issue, try the main line. Lower, Merion, Narberth, Wynnewood, Ardmore, Bryn Mawr

I would, but doesn't that fall outside the confines of Philadelphia county? I believe to work in the city you are restricted to within the county lines, right? I haven't looked into it as much as I should've, so correct me if I'm wrong. Otherwise, I absolutely would check out those areas.

I believe cops and firefighters are only subject to residency requirements for a limited number of years.

Otherwise, I believe all other municipal jobs are subject to it, and that means all the suggestions for the Mainline and all those areas Iike Lower Marion, Ardmore, Narberth, Wynnewood, etc. are totally off limits.

That's definitely something you're going to want to check on within the particular organization you're going to be working with. If I remember correctly not every department requires you to be within city limits or you might have to be in the city for a few years before moving out with the same organization, I believe it all depends. Definitely worth looking into.

I think it’s just cops and firefighters who have the ability to move out after a certain number of years.
