I moved to Fox Chase 2-3 years ago. Where I live is safe, but surrounding areas can be pretty shady, especially at night. I would never walk outside at night alone in Fox Chase. There are a lot of older residents who live in the area. Pennypack Park is really beautiful and great for biking or taking a walk. The food scene is not very good. There's a lot of pizza joints and fast food. But there's a bubble tea place on Bustleton Ave and a couple good restaurants.
Fox chase has made me feel safe throughout the years. I can easily walk outside at night and I feel safe. Through grades K-8, I walked home every day and my parents felt safe allowing me to do so. I would definitely live here for the rest of my life because there are great places to eat and great places to send children to school.
In recent years, Fox Chase has started to decline and I would like to see that change. We have a duty as citizens to make our neighborhood the best it can possibly be. If we took a little extra time to clean up the trash in the neighborhood and watch out for the petty crimes, Fox Chase can be amazing once again.
