Current Resident: I would like to see that less trash around the neighborhood. What I like about Oxford Circle is that there is a lot of stores, which makes the stores more accessible.Read 82 Reviews
Current Resident: Norristown has many affordable suburbs that are great for families looking to be involved in their community. Community and neighborhood camaraderie are positive and strong! I can't speak for the more urban parts of Norristown, but the rural areas are very clean and offer beautiful housing. There are a ton of great restaurants and is a great location, as it's close to many local tourists hot spots (Philly, King of Prussia, PA Turnpike, etc.).Read 41 Reviews
Current Resident: Hi! My name is Ana, I have been living in Lawndale for about 2 years and, I can say that it is a quiet neighborhood, there are plenty stores, schools, a library, gym, as well as efficient public transportation.Read 36 Reviews
Niche User: For the past 11 years, I lived here, there only been 2 crimes. Both times the culprit got caught. Most of my neighbors have security cameras and will notify others of any unusual activity. At one point, there was a sighting of a suspicious car driving around and it spread around quickly, which helped the families with kids. Even when the car disappeared, people still kept an eye on other people's children. While the police don't have a concrete presence in the neighborhood, they do respond quickly. I even met one of the officers and he helped me with a project for my school.Read 12 Reviews
Niche User: The area is a wonderful area to live. There somethings that I will change for some is the violence. Its not as bad as it seem, but it still is harm to the neighborhood and the people living in it. Another thing I would change is how small the blocks are. lol they are really little.Read 21 Reviews
Current Resident: Philadelphia is where I was born and raised. I currently live in northeast Philladelphia. This is a terrific city. Plenty of events, parks to walk-hike-jog and bike ride in. Don't forget Kelly drive, art museum, Natural History museum just to name a few. Best restaurants around. Close to Jersey Shore, too! The pocono mountains offer skiing, snowboarding and many other activities. Hershey park is just a ride away with fabulous chocolate and rides.Read 935 Reviews
Current Resident: I've looked all over Philadelphia for a great neighborhood for my family and was glad to settle into Whitman. I have good relationships with the teachers at my kids' school. I'm close to public transportation that allows me to get to Center City to work, or go to Passyunk to enjoy dinners with my hubby. Cost of living is excellent here and I am so close to shopping centers, grocery, restaurant and bars. I love the new little neighborhood bars that have been popping up. The neighbors are friendly and look out for each other. I am told that this feature is declining rarity in Philly neighborhoods, and Whitman and Pennsport are the only few left with that true Philly neighborhood love.I am trying to get my sister to move here too when we find a good house for sale. There aren't too many new houses for sale, but that's an easy fix. I just love this neighborhood so much!Read 16 Reviews
Current Resident: I have lived there for about 10 years, and there was always a community family event happening. Everyone there are very welcoming and generally happy. The business in the area are almost all mom and pop shops showing how community ran this community really is.Read 48 Reviews
Niche User: I love where I live and it is very convenient regarding public transportation. I would only choose somewhere else because the winters get very bitter and the city can be very dirty. Additionally, the school systems are failing.Read 45 Reviews
Niche User: Great place for outdoor activities. Close community and great schools.Read 5 Reviews
Current Resident: I like the tree lined streets. The close proximity of shopping and transportation. The people are friendly. There is a mixture of different cultures. The borough keeps the streets clear after snow storms. They issue bags to pick up leaves during the fall and borough workers us a machine to clear the streets of leaves. East Lansdowne to a neatly kept place to live.Read 3 Reviews
Niche User: Other than potholes, there's nothing to worry about. The only time I notice the police, are when people's home alarms go off (9.5/10 accidentally), a motorist going too fast and hitting a fence or getting into a fender bender with another car, and medical emergencies. Crime, and unkempt things (other than potholes) don't happen around here. Thankfully.Read 37 Reviews
Current Resident: Hatfield is a small, quiet little town outside of Philly. We don't have much to do right in Hatfield besides restaurants, but there are towns no more than 5-10 minutes away that have plenty to do. Close to Philly so there is a short commute for work or to get to sporting events or concerts. The town itself if very community based and a good area to live in. Very low crime rates and plenty of parks and the local pool. North Penn School District had prepared me extremely well for college.Read 11 Reviews
Current Resident: Mount Pocono is an interesting small town that I have lived in since the age of two. Recently I feel the community has become run-down a bit, and I believe part of that is because of the amount of stores closing down such as the large K-Mart plaza that became a hangout place for bums and had litter cluttered all over. Thankfully, an Ollies recently opened and is starting to clean the plaza back up, I would like Mount Pocono to continue cleaning up itself because this plaza is only one of the many spots slowly progressing down.Read 12 Reviews
Current Resident: Still living in the house that my mother grew up in, you learn a lot about the area. Although i am only 19 years old I know everything there is to this area. I love mayfair. I went to St. Matthews school which is a catholic grade school right in the heart of mayfair and grew up being friends with the public school kids and never had a problem. I attended New foundations High school which is not in Mfr, but a lot of the kids were. The nightlife in Mfr is not only toward the adults with bars and clubs along Frankford Ave, but the kids have a few places such as Skating ring and Pennypack park concerts for families. Many shops around so there are many opportunities for jobs. Most of the people who live in Mfr has lived here all their life and I know many, myself included, who want to stay here.Read 97 Reviews
Current Resident: I've lived in downtown Lancaster City for about 4 years, and I love it! There's such a renaissance going on with all the music, art, restaurants, and events. It's a great place for a young person to start out because there are tons of opportunities, but it's also great for families. The Central Market is a must-see, as are all the antique shops. If I had to change one thing about Lancaster, it would be the cost of living. It's definitely gone up, and while they're building lots of places for seniors to live, there's not much affordable housing for young people.Read 99 Reviews
Current Resident: Coatesville is a diverse community, and has a diverse population in the public school system. Being bi racial, this is a good thing to me. Coatesville has a small town feel with a downtown area as well as farmland. There is something for everyone!Read 36 Reviews
Current Resident: Easton is an awesome little riverfront city. There are many wonderful restaurants, festivals, and public events. It is a very arts-centered community, with plentiful live music and art galleries. It is also a very diverse place, where you can hear many different spoken languages and eat food from all over the world. The downtown is currently undergoing rapid gentrification, which is bringing in more upscale dining and a concert venue, and rapidly raising the rent prices.Read 64 Reviews
Niche User: Living in an urban atmosphere is convenient for people who want to be close to everything without travelling far. There are many more opportunities in the city where people can easily take advantage of them and allow much more of a development in their own self.Read 16 Reviews
Current Resident: I like that downtown york offers a historic and entertaining getaway. The streets are lined with historic posts, coffee shops, small businesses, and a large range of restaurants. York is a great location for meeting up with friends or family for brunch, dinner, shopping, a baseball game-and everything in between! It is also a short distance away from Gettysburg and Amish Lancaster,Pa.Read 85 Reviews
Former Resident: Harrisburg is ideal for a person who loves the outdoors and is avoiding a "big-city" vibe but still wants to experience culture and nightlife. No shortage of great places to eat (Yellow Bird Cafe), drink (Sturges' Speakeasy), and explore (Susquehanna Art Museum, Harrisburg Symphony Orchestra, Broad Street Market, Pennsylvania State Museum, City Island, and the Whitaker Center, just to name a few)! Rush hour is a hassle and finding parking can be tricky- it is, after all, the state capital- but for me, the benefits of living here far outweighed the drawbacks.Read 137 Reviews
Current Resident: Penbrook is a small town in Harrisburg it's pretty quiet and everyone knows each other. It's close to many stores and you can walkRead 1 Reviews
