Current Resident: I love Chesterbrook. It is such an awesome community! The schools are great and the people here are lovely and nice. There are so many opportunities here such as jobs. The communities are very diverse and I find it very family friendly. Thought the pricing here is a little expensive, it is definitely worth it! Chesterbrook schools include Conestoga High School, and TE Middle School, both are great public schools and ranked fairly high in the country. The staff and workers are awfully nice and make your experience amazing. So what are you waiting for? Come move to Chesterbrook now!... Read 55 reviews

Parent: Sending our sons to Salesianum School was the best decision we ever made. I have three sons with very different interests. My boys have participated in band, theatre, Science Olympiad, basketball, soccer, baseball, tailgate club, ping pong club, guitar club and others. Academically I could not ask for more. My oldest two sons were both accepted into many colleges with scholarships and are currently in the Honors Program at UD. Sallies prepared them with the study and organizational skills to be independent and successful in college and later in life. The best part about Sallies is the brotherhood. My sons have each met "their people" and have made life long friends. My two sons in college still hang out with their Sallies friends on breaks. Sallies teaches the students about hard work and dedication as well as humility and compassion for others. Sallies develops the students to be well rounded respectful adults. I could not be happier with our experience at Salesianum.... Read 121 reviews

Current Resident: Ardmore has been a wonderful place to be raised. There is so much to do in and around Ardmore. The neighborhoods are quiet, which is quite nice. The neighbors and friends you meet while living in Ardmore are the best! It is super close to Suburban Square, a shopping center filled with a diverse range of stores. Additionally, it's only a 25-minute drive from Philly, which makes it extremely easy when you need to take a trip into Philly. The Ardmore community is unmatched and many other surrounding towns attempt to replicate this same environment, but fail... Read 35 reviews

Current Resident: I moved to Berwyn PA from abroad 3 years ago. I didn’t mean to stay much longer than that but the area draws you in . The school system is great, commute into Philly on the Septa is super convenient. Area feels safe and ha a great selection of local bars and restaurants. With I think the biggest shopping mall in the US 10 mins away and yet you are living in a leafy suburb and can go walking and running around the beautiful streets. Finally 2 hours to the coast - what is not to love !... Read 33 reviews

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: I have been a resident of Upper Uwchlan Township for 16 years and love it! Easy access to gorgeous parks, a variety of restaurants and stores, excellent libraries and schools makes raising a family here a wonderful experience. We are excited about the township trail system currently underway- providing a safe environment for children to ride bikes and connect to friends in different neighborhoods. Marsh Creek lake has provided so many memorable and fun activities - sailing camp, boating, fishing, walking trails, and incredible views! This is a very well run township and we feel so fortunate to live here. We can’t say enough positive things about UUT!... Read 25 reviews

Blue Bell's community is very polite as well, I think it's a good place to be if you'd like to have peace and quiet. The only draw back I can think of is that there getting to a shopping center is tricky without a car. There is also a great amount of construction that goes on, it can get in the way of driving.

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: 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: Plymouth Meeting is a safe area with easy access to Philadelphia and a plethora of options for shopping and fun. It’s within 10-15 minutes to King of Prussia Mall, 30 minutes to the outlets, and about an hour and a half to the beach. Housing options in this area are nice, there are lots of perks and greenery, and the school district is top notch. There are a lot of families residing in Plymouth Meeting, and plenty of fun things to do for kids, including farms, Legoland, playgrounds and community centers. The traffic can get a little backed up, but it’s expected in such a suburban hot spot. Overall, I really enjoy living in Plymouth Meeting and feel like I can settle down here for years to come....
