Ambler is a quiet little town in the suburbs of Philadelphia. They have events throughout the year were the main road is shut down and vendors and restaurant take to the street! Plenty of bar/restaurants with a variety of foods. Ambler has it borough train station which makes it very easy to hop on down to the city. All in all, a really lovely and lively place to live.
Ambler is a great, lively little town with a lot of personality! There's usually a lot to do, and there are many small businesses that give Ambler more personality than some of the more gentrified similar towns on the main line. There's also a train line that goes right though ambler, which makes commutes/travel to the city/other suburbs easy.
I spend my whole life and Ambler and I appreciate that they have a lot of healthy choices of food such as stores, restaurants. There is is a nice variety of parks around the town and events that happen monthly. If I were to change something would be put more of a variety of different shops instead of similar ones such as another coffee or pizza shop. Other than that I think Ambler is quite a quiet town that you can find some activities to do. So I would say it’s an okay town to live in.
