The Selling Season Has Begun!

Ever since the DO match, the residents have started putting up their houses on our Real Estate page. We are lucky this year to have everything from easy rental properties, to houses for sale anywhere from $130,000 - $600,000! Hopefully there will be a house for every budget.
The Auxiliary email has been getting more action recently as well with incoming residents and fellows asking questions about where is the most convenient place to live, whether or not it is a good or bad idea to live close to the hospital, etc...so here is a list of the 10 best things about living in Danville.

1. Living only blocks from the hospital is AWESOME! A 5 minute walking commute is much easier than a 30 minute especially after a long call night.

2. More time at home to catch up on sleep if you live close to the hospital.

3. Often times the residents who live close to the hospital are one car families. Saving on car insurance, gas, and maintenance (all great things when trying to pay off student loans!)

4. Fun Resident functions that are also family friendly. Such as Geisinger Night at local restaurants; or departmental gatherings, such as the upcoming annual ED Chili Cookoff. Also the family events the Resident Auxiliary puts on, such as Brunch With Santa and the Easter Egg Hunt.

5. Delicious local restaurants make for fun nights out with friends and/or spouses and families.

6. Its easy to hop in the car for a short drive to all the conveniences of a city (target, walmart, mall, craft stores, sporting goods stores.....)

7. Great hiking and mountain biking trails, once the snow melts that is.

8. Its easy to go into New York City or Philadelphia for a long weekend, or avoid going to the city for a long weekend. Your choice.

9. Quite a few ski resorts within an hour or two for winter fun.

10. Easy to make friends since we are all in this residency thing together!

Have a great house hunt and keep checking back for more updates on Auxiliary functions!
