Carlisle PA Quality of life
-
5/31/2008
Carlisle is a great place to raise a family. The schools are good, crime's under control, the area is historic. Residents are very active in the community, creating many opportunities for family activities like sports, music, theatre, etc. The cost of living is good (below national average). Cities like Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington and New York are all within day trip driving distance. The greater PA capital area provides many avenues for employment.
The negatives here are air quality (not good for asthma and allergies), and trucks. Carlisle is a trucking hub for much of the Eastern seaboard. Interstates here are packed with trucks, making travel somewhat harrowing. Trucking is an economic boon here, but most of us notice the downside.
