A very laid-back neighborhood, and very safe! Surrounded by older people and their dogs, you learn a lot of gardening tips just by watching. The lack of sidewalks makes it hard to travel by bike or run, but the roads are generally pretty safe (spare the occasional person who thinks driving 50 through a neighborhood is okay, but we know they aren't from around here.) A very conservative town, and people aren't afraid to share their opinions. A downside to being so spread apart is that neighbors rarely tend to communicate with each other, which I actually like. There's a good variety of stores and restuarants nearby, so you never have to travel far to get what you need.
I think that Sinking Spring is a fairly good town because it has pretty many options in terms of restaurants and shopping. There is not much to do here unless you live here but it is a good town for the essentials. In addition, the public schools here and very good schools, Wilson School District and Governor Mifflin being two of them. However, I do think that what it could improve on is healthy living. I, myself am vegan and there are few restaurant choices in the area to eat as I do. We can mainly get the healthy food that we need at Giant but it would be nice to have restaurant choices as well.
I have been living in this neighborhood for nine years, and what I really love about it is the diversity. There so many people here with different background, nationalities, skin color, ages, political beliefs, and even with all those differences, the people tend to be very friendly. This neighborhood is also really peaceful, safe, and there's a lot of businesses around.
