I've lived in Berwyn my whole live, as did my mother, father, and their parents. The community is amazing and unlike anything I've seen - everyone is so welcoming and warm, they all want to be inclusive! The special events throughout the year make the town especially unique - the Turkey Raffle, the Tree Lighting, the Fourth of July parade, they all bring a close-knit community even closer. No matter where life takes me, I hope to always end up back in Berwyn.

I really liked growing up in Berwyn. My favorite things about my town is it is local to literally anything and everything : shopping, great restaurants, unique leisure activities, including a School of Rock, indoor rock climbing and iFly. Best thing is our school district. The Tredyffrin-Easttown School District is ranked #1 for public schools in the state, and Conestoga High School is the top public high school.
The only thing I would change is our particular neighborhood does not have sidewalks. That is frustrating for me when I walk my dogs.
I grew up in Berwyn and went to elementary and middle school in Berwyn. I left the town when I turned 20 years old, moving to a nearby small town with lower rent prices. When I became financially stable again, I moved back, because living anywhere else wasn't comfortable for me. Great town, shuts down early (nothing is open after 10 pm) but safe and quiet.
