Erie is Pennsylvania’s fourth largest city and home to several professional performing arts groups, sports entertainment, and a beautiful downtown district. As the only access point to the Great Lakes, there’s plenty to do on land or water.
Known as the “Flagship City,” Erie’s robust, culturally-rich communities and lively neighborhoods have residents eager to plant their roots and call the region home. Though manufacturing still drives the local economy, health care, higher education, technology, service industries and tourism are emerging. Downtown you’ll find an exciting nightlife and the Erie Playhouse, one of the leading community theaters in the country. From the sandy beaches of Presque Isle State Park and Lake Erie, to beautiful waterfront views and outdoor adventures, there’s plenty to love about living in Erie.
