Hi, I am from Brazil and I lived in Cherry Hill from July 2020 to August 2022. King of Prussia was one of the most places to visit on weekends for my family.. My family loved shopping there! Many stores, and great restaurants! Thanks for this video!
Two of the three schools you mentioned aren’t in King of Prussia’s school district. King of Prussia is in Upper Merion Area School District. Valley Forge Elementary and Middle School are in T-E.
I grew up in Broomall and have lived in the KOP area since 1995. We shopped in the old KOP Mall quite often, Gimbels, etc. and ate jumbo hot dogs at the Purple Cow. Regarding restaurants, wondering when the defunct Ruth's Chris will get reopened as something else? Some other random thoughts: traffic! deer! flash floods! Good choices in food stores with Wegmans, Lidl, Aldi, Trader Joe's and Giant all close by. The Oaks Convention Center is a 20 min drive with lots of big events throughout the year.
I grew up next to King of Prussia. Never called it a town it was just the area that encompassed the King of Prussia Plaza. The area was aways called Upper Merion.
Lived in an old wooden house on the corner of 363 and 202 in 1980 81 The house was literally on the mall property I worked at the Howard Johnson restaurant and a factory on Henderson Road. I made a lot of lifetime friends there
I grew up there. Attended Upper Merion High School. A lot has changed since moving away in the early 1990s. Can't say I like the Town Center with its apartments - the area was almost exclusively single family houses in my day, and that Town Center reminds me a lot of Rockville, MD, and it's over-priced condos.
For a population of only 20K, King of Prussia has quite an amazing list of restaurants. What gives? Must be people from surrounding suburbs that come there and it serves as a center point.
Suggestions for videos: Media/Swarthmore/Wallingford (maybe media and nether providence?) Conshy, Oreland, Flourtown, Glenside, Jenkintown (Jenkintown being interesting because of it basically being in the middle of Abington but is somehow it’s own tiny township (borough? Like Hatboro I guess?) with their own police dept, school district, etc. I would love to know history on this and if it makes Jenkintown more or less desirable to not be a part of Abington?) and it would be nice to see a breakdown of what the “main line” entails, some of the ridiculously beautiful homes (if you have that type of listing). You should mention, there were no apartments, townhomes, etc etc in KoP until approx. 5 years ago.
Thank you for the suggestions! I've been working on a lot of different areas lately to start getting back to weekly videos. Just got very busy. The mainline suburbs will be one of my upcoming videos. Are you considering moving to or buying a home in the Philadelphia Suburbs?
@@livinginphiladelphiasuburbs I grew up in Oreland, moved to Media for 15 years, and am currently renting in Blue Bell villas? However, for the price, I am disappointed and am thinking of finding another 2 or 3 bdrm when lease is up in Feb. I would like to be closer to the city, Valley Green/Fairmount Park etc and have neighbors who are single and fun and be able to walk places. Also a pool (that doesn’t close at 8pm, preferably). Also, quiet time here is 10, even on weekends. I know my list is a lot but for the $2800 a month I pay in rent I do not feel i am getting my money’s worth. That’s Korman, though. I assume you are not a rental realtor however and I am not in a position to make a downpayment on a house. Btw, marathon mortgage, for what it’s worth, that’s my dad’s company (before he retired) but still doesn’t mean I can get a loan without enough savings. Renting is not ideal, it’s throwing money away, but there doesn’t seem to be an in between.
@@215juliusgirl I do have an agent on my team that helps renters find new places all the time. If you would like help with finding a new rental, feel free to email us at phillysuburbsliving@gmail.com $2,800/month is a lot for rent. Depending on what you're looking for, and where you're looking, you may not need a whole lot of money to put down on a purchase. Happy to discuss options to see if it's an option for you or not at the moment. If not, we can get a plan together for you to work towards home ownership if that is your goal. Hope to hear from you!
KOP is roughly 30-40 minutes from center city Philly. They have septa for public transportation (bus), you could always uber as well. I'm sure there are good airbnb's in KOP area. They would be listed on airbnb's site. Thanks for commenting!
Hi, i am from the land that used to be Prussia. There are many german townnames in the US (for example 9 Berlins) but the most funny gotta be "King of Prussia" how much do you need to smoke to call youre city/district "KIng of Prussia"🤣😂😅
Named so because Prussia played a role in supporting the newly independent United States in it's war of Independence from Britain. Some Prussian military officers were instrumental in molding Washington's army into a well trained fighting force.
You can find some good cash flow deals in KOP if that's what you're looking for. 44% of KOP residents are renting while the remaining 56% own their homes. KOP, Conshohocken, and Quakertown are decent options for rental properties. Feel free to reach out if you're looking to invest or have a 1031 that you need to put into something.

No, the housing market is highly competitive, and the rental prices for homes exceeds the family market, which comprises the majority of the house market. The area is filled with cooperate rental properties in the form of apartments.
There is a lot of career opportunity in the healthcare industry in KOP. CHOP (Children's Hospital of Philadelphia) has a hospital on Goddard Boulevard in KOP and there's also plenty of opportunity in Philadelphia which is just about a 25 or so minute drive. I am currently helping a family relocate here that is going to be accepting a position at Jefferson Hospital. Do you live in the area currently?
@andrew4352 if you'd like to have a convo to help with your search, feel free to call/text or email. I'm actually helping someone relocate from Reisterstown MD northwest of Baltimore within the next 2 months. Happy to help! 267-614-2101 Phillysuburbsliving@gmail.com
@@face-diaper it can definitely get crowded in the Town Center but it's a great spot for young professionals & families. Catching an outdoor movie there is always fun
I grew up in Levittown, Pennsylvania and all you do is go to the bigger cities and talk about that. Why don’t you go to another smaller town in the suburbs and talk about that because you talk about all the other suburbs but Levittown Pennsylvania.
I am doing my best to hit all of the suburbs of Philly, but it'll definitely take me a while to do so as there are so many. I just recorded a top 7 suburbs for 2023 dropping next week and Quakertown Pa is next on my list for vlog tours

It's an awesome area! There is a Top Golf being built in KOP as well which I'm extremely excited about!
My hometown. I don't live there anymore but I will always have deep affection for my hometown.
It's a great town!
Miss this place. A lot of memories there .

King of Prussia is part of Upper Merion Township.
I miss the Valley Forge Music Fair.
Yeah, it's been a while since they stopped doing that. Music Fest up in Lehigh Valley is great though!

Yeah it's definitely a popular place for people to go to from surrounding areas with all the restaurants, KOP Mall, and now the town center.

I always love going to the king of Prussia mall. I'm in voorhees now
It's a great mall 👍🏻
Just a heads up, the business complex mentioned is being demolished to make room for a top golf.

Hey, how far is this place from the city of Philadelphia? How to travel there from phily? Cab? Train? Bus? Any good Airbnb there?
KOP is roughly 30-40 minutes from center city Philly. They have septa for public transportation (bus), you could always uber as well. I'm sure there are good airbnb's in KOP area. They would be listed on airbnb's site. Thanks for commenting!

Many Philly team players live in the area as well
Yes they do!
I liked it here better when it wasn't so congested. Too many cars now. Too many buildings. It's falling prey to greed.
Do you have a video about Levittown?
I do not have a video about Levittown... yet... but I could help with information on it. Are you considering moving there?
How is the healthcare field/hospital industry in KOP?
There is a lot of career opportunity in the healthcare industry in KOP.

I love great food so seriously interested in Collegeville or King of Prussia.
Both areas have great options for restaurants though KOP has a few more options to choose from. Are you looking to make a move to the Philly suburbs?
What is the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of King of Prussia?
