The fist article written by Zack O'Mailey Greenburg for Forbes Magazine, dated June 30th, 2008, entitled: 
"America's Best Places To Raise A Family" rates Montgomery County in the Top 10 with high scores for many important attributes.
The second significant article about Montgomery County written by Margaret Gibbons for The Times Herald, dated July 14th, 2008, entitled: "Planner: Area Homes Hold Value" notes that Montgomery County as a whole experienced a 1.1% increase from 2006 compared to last year.
I think to be fair, the Times Herald article also makes some valid points about the housing boom and its effect over the last ten years. The article goes one step further and is very thorough such that it lists out each township's increase or decrease of last year compared to 2006.
Having transferred down from the NY metro area - to the SE Pennsylvania area almost 20 years ago, for me, in addition to living and raising a family here myself, I enjoy practicing real estate in the Suburban Philadelphia, Montgomery County, Pennsylvania - area.
I think that what truly makes Montgomery County special is its strong job base, world-class shopping and dining, and depending on one's given lifestyle and housing needs, its diversity in homes and location (suburban, urban, or exurban, we have it all).
