Montgomery County

The county is not just a suburb of Philadelphia but a major employment center in its own right. With business parks in King of Prussia, Blue Bell, Lansdale, Fort Washington, and more, the county attracts workers from all over the region.
Montco is home to several colleges and universities, including Montgomery County Community College, Bryn Mawr College, and Penn State Abington.
Featuring a robust economy and rich educational and historical offerings, Montco is a dynamic place to live, work, study, shop, and play.
