I love North Wales! There's restaurants and stores everywhere, neighborhoods are kept clean and close together. There's always new flowers being planted and they listen to community advice. My grandfather suggested the neighborhood brick entrance sign looked a little dirty and falling apart. A month later it was restored, repainted and they installed all new gold lettering, so I'd say, very on top of things! I'm not much of a party girl so I can't say much on nightlife. Schools are average.
I grew up and attended public school in North Wales. I have always loved it, with there being a variety of activities, both indoor and outdoor, within a short driving distance.
The high school, North Penn, has an impressive curriculum, but it is very overcrowded, which caused me a great deal of difficulty. However, my experiences with my elementary and middle school were largely positive.
There are regular events in the nearby parks, several easily accessible hiking trails, and a number of gyms, clubs, and stores. Entertainment has always been easily accessible, without the area seeming too busy.

North Wales is a quieter town; I appreciate that it does not feel like a loud-and-fast city. The town is small, but surrounded by larger towns with many stores, businesses, jobs, churches, and schools. Lovely neighbors and fairly friendly townspeople. Annual 4th of July parade was a highlight of my summer as a young child.
