Top 5 things I love about Emmaus
Alright, I'm a college student here and Average temperature is around 53--F, so expect cold winters. Median household income is $82,875, which feels pretty solid for the area. The median home value here is around $244,300, which is actually reasonable. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse.
Pros:
- Good job market
- Diverse community
- Strong sense of community
- Good airport connections
Cons:
- Limited public transit
- Hot summers
- Mosquitoes and humidity
