Home to people from all parts of the world, Goshen offers a culturally diverse location to raise children and earn a living. It is home to exceptional parks and recreational facilities, numerous service organizations and clubs, and a variety of churches supporting 33 different religious denominations.
Educational Opportunities
The area is ripe with opportunity, including several colleges and universities located within a 45-minute drive.
