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: 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

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.

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: 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: Since moving here when I was eight years old, I think Malvern is great place to raise kids. I have meet my best friend who lives just down the street from me, and through her, I’ve been able to meet many other kids in the Malvern area. All of my friends’ parents have become my “second family”, as there is such a family-friendly community here. I’ve also had the honor of babysitting younger kids whose families have moved here over time. I’ve been able to out myself in the kids’ shoes, as I was once the “new kid” in Malvern. The Malvern Borough especially has so many opportunities and events to get closer with the community. From Malvern Blooms Festival to farmers makers and galleries, there is endless events. You will always pass someone you know, whether it be driving or a stroll. It is very accessible, and the enforcement keeps it a safe community for all.... Read 42 reviews

Current Resident: Fort Washington is a relatively small town with about 2,000 residents. One of the best things about Fort Washington is its easy access to the city of Philadelphia. it takes roughly 30-45 minutes by car and there's the possibility of taking the train as well. The schools accessible from this town are phenomenal options like Upper Dublin, LaSalle, and Germantown Academy. Each of these schools being commutable through bus or car. The town has an abundance of parks and fields fit for playing varieties of sports and games. You will feel safe where ever you go and not much of a threat or any commotion encountered. A major negative about Fort Washington is definitely its affordability. Fort Washington has an extremely high property tax that seems to be the main repellent turning away families. Regardless, many houses are always going on and off the market keeping the area buzzing. Fort Washington is your above average mainly white suburb right outside of Philadelphia.... Read 27 reviews

Parent: I have a middle school child at PALCS. We have been pleased with the program as it offers flexibility, efficiency, and allows the child to further develop independence and responsibility. I feel that PALCS is more aligned with jobs/professions in our current society than traditional brick and mortar schools. I love that there is this virtual option as one school size doesn’t fit all for kids. Communication has been great with teachers, counselors, and administration. Highly recommend for a child looking for a non-traditional, flexible route!... Read 303 reviews
