Suburb of Philadelphia, PA
Current Resident: Swarthmore is a delightful, safe town in which to raise a family. The schools are excellent, many of the homes historic, and it is just a quick ride to Media or to Philadelphia. Being near Swarthmore College and its beautiful campus is obviously a huge plus. Contrary to the report on this site, the folks who live in Swarthmore tend to lean very liberal. Town co-op, farmer's market, and nice sidewalks are all bonuses.... Read 16 reviews

Current Resident: Nether Providence is a small town about 30 minutes away from Philadelphia. There aren't many huge attractions in Nether Providence, however, there are still many opportunities to have fun. Nether Providence may be small, but almost everyone knows everyone. You're bound to see at least one person from school where you're at, which personally isn't a bad thing. There are a lot of cute little shops, and attractions around here. There's at least one or two carnivals that happen every year in the summer, lots of fun bike rides, and it's overall a very fun and nice comfy atmosphere to live in. It's not very noisy around here either, and we have one of the best high schools in Pennsylvania in our county.... Read 29 reviews

Current Resident: Chadds Ford is a lovely location and rich with history. You can visit the site of the Brandywine Battlefield where George Wahington and the Marquis de lafayette fought off the British in 1777. You can visit the Brandywine River Art Museum which celebrates local artists such as the Wyatts and of course you can step outside to the Brandywine Creek State Park to appreciate the beauty of nature which inspired their paintings. There are some quaint and well-established local wineries and even some wineries! Of course, there's also the typical suburban sprawl and chain stores and restaurants but it's a very safe and family-friendly place to be.... Read 13 reviews

Current Resident: Media is Everybody's Hometown! I grew up just outside the borough in a different Philadelphia suburb...a semi-rural township of generic subdivisions. When I'm asked, "Where are you from?" my answer is "Media." We believe our borough is the only remaining small town with a trolley on its main street. SEPTA currently operates the 101 trolley line to Upper Darby on Media' State Street. From Upper Darby's 69th Street Terminal riders can transfer to the Market-Frankford Line and travel to Philadelphia. State Street (and its rumbling trolleys) is Media's town square. Nowhere else have I found such diversity of restaurants, businesses, and unique human interactions. Media is a destination for countless visitors from all over the Delaware Valley and is an incredible source of pride in Delaware County and beyond. My grandfather was a longtime business owner in Media. For 25 years he practiced chiropractic in a storefront on Plum Street Mall, and our family will always be "from" Media, PA.... Read 62 reviews

Current Resident: I dislike being so far away from everything you have to drive thirty minutes to get to a mall or see a movie.
