Pelham Reviews
Rating 4.07 out of 5 68 reviews
I have lived in Pelham almost my whole life. It feels like a safe, welcoming place to live. The only thing I would change is the traffic conditions. The population has grown so much that there is often congestion on the roadways.
A pretty small yet homey town. I’ve lived here all of my life so I have a somewhat strong attachment to it. It’s really nice that the diversity here has gotten very big and most people are accepting of it. That, however, is only most. There are still a lot of prejudice around Pelham and I hope that one day there will be an end to the threat against change here.
Pelham is such a close community. Everyone knows everyone and there's always ways for the community to get together. Pelham is also very diverse. Despite all its good factors, I feel as though those living here are stuck in a sphere; as a community we ought to have more outreach.
