It's a lovely suburb with a good balance between huge supermarkets & shopping outlets, and plenty of trees & small businesses. It feels simultaneously cozy (like a quaint small town) and busy (like a mini city, but with much more wildlife)! There is a nice variety of shops and restaurants, and the scenery ranges from whimsical gardens (that look like they belong in a fairy tale) to sleek, almost-metropolitan architecture (shiny marble buildings, streamlined crosswalks & intersections).
Downingtown is a wonderful area! The neighborhoods are beautiful, the schools are amazing, and the people are very kind. There are plenty of great places to visit and hang out with friends. The parks are also very beautiful in the summer and always packed full of people who are enjoying the many water sports that are available. Downingtown has been one of the best area I've lived in.
Downingtown has it all! Great schools, convenient location, amazing locally owned and run restaurants, plus a weekly farmers market that helps support local business. It is a family friendly town with several local parks and tons of activities to help a family stay healthy. The turkey trot on Thanksgiving morning and the Good Neighbor Day races are two of the bigger 5k races that the town sponsors.
