Berwick, PA: Small Town Charm and Great People User Rating 4 rating By Anonymous ( May 28, 2018) Berwick, Pennsylvania is a sweet, picturesque little town that you would expect to find only in the movies. It's just lovely here, from the natural scenery to the beautifully manicured neighborhoods, homes, and lawns, to the fantastic people who live here and who make everyone fe ...Read More el welcome. I have been living in Berwick for 2 years now and I just love it here. I think it's among the best areas in the entire state of Pennsylvania. Full disclosure, our job market could be a bit better and we could do with a little more available housing. Other than that this is the perfect place to call home. We have exceptional schools and a pleasingly low amount of crime, which is one of the most pleasing aspects of life here. It's just a feel-good place to be, whether you are just visiting or settling in.


For fun here in Berwick we enjoy visiting the Evansville Motocross Park, Can U Xcape escape games, Columbia Creek Farms, PPL Susquehanna Riverlands, and all of the awesome restaurants and shops sprinkled all around town. Read Less
