Trenton's a bit busy for you. Philadelphia is
expensive and too far from work. So where are you going to
live?
Consider Morrisville, PA. We're in green,
peaceful, historic Bucks County, a hop across the river from
Trenton, a short drive from Philadelphia, and with easy access to
New York trains.
Should you want to go anywhere else, that is. But
you might want to stick close to home, because while Morrisville is
a small town, we're within striking distance of the region's best
arts and culture. There's always something that will feed your
heart and your head here, and it happens in a landscape that has
inspired artists for centuries.

theatre, music, and museums in Bucks County and Trenton. But it's
just a taste, we promise -- to get the full effect you have to live
here!
