Perkiomen (Collegeville), Methacton and Owen J. Roberts (Pottstown) schools are supossedly all very good. Lots of my friends live in the developments in Collegeville and love it there - lots of families and kids, working to middle class sensibilities...my kind of people! Too bad I hate housing developments in general. Also check out Downingtown School District - it is huge so it encopmasses D-town, Chester Springs, parts of Caln Twp, and up to...

Close to the R5, check out the Strafford Apartments. They are nice, wlel priced, and a GREAT location. Also, if you need a cheap renters policy send me an email. They are less than 100 a year with my company.

Great Valleys location,lack of density, development strategy is going to save it from crippling decline.Eventually the Philly area is going to run out of areas to flee and Great Valley is about as bulletproof as they come. For all the reasons I want Great Valley/Malvern/KOP to be a unified growing city in the spirit of Raleigh or Portland Or. the planners probably say whoa what are we going to be dealing with 100 years from now, do we really...

You're forgetting to mention centers of rot in Jersey. I don't know that side of the bridge as well but certainly the rot of Camden is spreading out into Pennsauken and there are plenty of faded towns in Jersey, among which are Willingboro, Runnemede, and Lindenwold. Personally I feel that the revived mill towns like Conshohocken and Manayunk can serve as excellent paradigms on how to stop and even reverse the death spiral that has...

I rent in Phoenixville with my wife and young baby (we're in our early 30's, our situation is somewhat similar to yours). We loved the neighborhood bars and non-chain scene, which is why we gave Phoenixville a try. Phoenixville has a lot to offer from that standpoint, and the housing is amazingly cheap considering its advantageous location. Downside of Phoenixville is that the renaissance of the area is still going on, so there are...

Hi all, I am struggling with an age old Philadelphia struggle: Moving out of the city. It will probably happen sooner than later and we have narrowed our focus to two main areas, the Main Line towns centered around 476(Wayne-Bryn Mawr?) and Haddonfield, NJ. Our priorities are: 1 . Good schools,kids are very young, but would like them to eventually go to great pub school sys 2 . ...

my husband and I are new to the area and are feeling overwhelmed with finding towns to research for buying a house. We currently rent a townshouse in Conshy. We love Conshy, and its great restaurants, bars, etc make us feel like we are still hip and close to the city- ha. However, the single family homes are either 500k+ or in need of a ton of work. Plus, we are finding it hard to meet other...

Hello all, I currently rent in Phoenixville, but I'm not convinced it is somewhere where I'd like to buy. I'm looking for a nice town with good schools, active community for a young family (we have a 2-year old), with housing options from $240k-$300k. I work in King of Prussia, so I don't want to be too far from there. Anyone have any thoughts on where to look? We'd like a single ...

I need a good dentist recommendation. And by good, I don't necessarily mean someone who is nice, has a clean, professional office, and nice staff (although those things are great). My husband needs serious dental work and we need recommendations based on people's experience with having gotten lots of work done. We need a competent dentist who is good at major dental work. Any recommendations ...
