Our Take
Hershey is a charming suburban neighborhood with a small-town feel, suitable for families and those who value community spirit. It's located about 90 miles west of Philadelphia, and while the commute is long, the scenic route makes it bearable. Home prices have risen significantly since 2022, reflecting the area's popularity.
