I love this area. It's growing and with the changes lately to create a downtown area for Montgomery Township, there's a lot of upside in getting a home here before the prices get too high. My wife and I have been here for 5 years and we firmly believe that raising a family here (we're a family of 5) is ideal. Top rated schools in NJ, easy access to both Philly and NYC, great hospitals (CHOP, Penn Medicine), good food, gyms, hiking trails, beaches a drive away, universities and top companies surrounding the area. And most importantly a welcoming community. Very diverse and an excellent place to raise and grow children especially for mixed, Latino or African-American families. A lot of culture in this area and a lot of nearby towns to visit too. It's like the city in that there are a bunch of connected boroughs acting as one big area, but they're actually suburbs and don't come with the crime and crowdedness that you'd typically get living in NYC.
Im a school bus driver here in Montgomery. The Montgomery Facebook administrators seem to cancel free speech by canceling you and remove all negative postings about the schools transportation department. So I will post it on niche and hopefully someone will repost on FB.
Recently two school bus drivers here got into a physical altercation. Both are currently suspended with pay. Prior to that a driver failed the random drug test but he is still employed doing light duty. The dispatcher is more concerned with helping her maintenance guy boyfriend than she is helping us drivers. Whenever maintenance needs something they get it. But if a driver or aide has a problem it's gets past to the supervisor. Our supervisor takes off 1-2 days a week. On any given day you'll have 10-12 drivers out "sick". When Robyn was here the atmosphere was warm and helpful. Today it's cold and ruthless. Especially from the dispatchers and a few nasty drivers. Our woke HR department a joke.

Montgomery is a very affluent district with good schools and is fairly safe. People often know each other and there are plenty of community-wide activities to participate in (usually linked with the school district) that offer opportunities to meet other residents of the district. The Montgomery schools are very challenging and push students to levels that other districts do not, which allows students to have an edge over their peers in college but also results in a competitive and somewhat stressful atmosphere.
