ADT Monitored Security in Philadelphia, PA

There is not a city that embodies the story of the US more than Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Philly is not only where the American "experiment" began, but where you can see the gritty, and often sobering struggle for the pursuit of happiness and freedom. As cliche as it may be—Rocky Balboa, that iconic resilient Philly underdog written and portrayed by Sylvester Stallone—is the Philly spirit made flesh.

But does the Philly portrayed by the 1976 Rocky even still exist? In the last 15 years, Millennials, many of whom were priced out of Boston, New York or Washington D.C. have flocked to Philly for jobs and for the unique community of Philadelphia. This sudden influx of affluent renters and businesses has certainly changed the landscape of the city, but Philly natives and transplants still embrace Philly's funky and resilient spirit.

If there is any doubt as to whether that old Philly spirit is still going strong, look no further than the 2018 David and Goliath Super Bowl showdown between the perennial contenders, the New England Patriots and the Philadelphia Eagles, who last won a championship in 1960 and never once won a Super Bowl. Most folks would put their money on the Patriots—but Philly proved once again that you can't predict the power of the underdog spirit when they won.

Despite all the changes of the last decade Philly is still weird and wonderful and a great place to call home. And while the all time high of crime in Philadelphia has passed, it still experiences a fair amount of crime for a city of its size. If you are new homeowner in the area, don't let your opinion of this great city be soured by stolen or damaged property by investing in an ADT-monitored home security system from Protect Your Home, an ADT Authorized Premier Provider.

Enjoy all that Philly has to offer, with even greater peace of mind.
