If you're wfh I suggest living in a walkable neighborhood near Center City with restaurants, cafes, and parks.

People are kind, but not nice (I'm a Midwest transplant and still super friendly). I like it. People have an f-you oh let me help you with that attitude. Volunteering and community sports are a great way to meet people. I can't really speak to the current dating scene beyond I met my now-spouse here. Dating pool is definitely better than the Midwest town I came from.

Taxes are what they are. Philly is still a cheaper option compared to nearby cities DC, NYC, Boston, etc
