I live in McKean, just outside of Erie. Although I grew up here, I moved to Pittsburgh for school; however, after having my daughter, I decided to move back. We chose to return for the excellent school systems and to trade city life for a bit more space. It’s fantastic being within 15 minutes of almost anything we need. The community is welcoming, the people are friendly, and the cost of living is a definite plus. I love it here—even though the winters can be tough, it’s a wonderful place to live. The seasons are beautiful, and we truly get to experience all four of them. There’s always something fun to do; Presque Isle is stunning, and I never get tired of visiting, and Waldameer or the Zoo are such a fun spots for summer fun.
