[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wonder if Overbrook is nice? Beautiful old homes on street view. Lots of mature trees. It’s right on the Septa 10 trolley line for convenience and across Rt 1 from posh Lower Merion. Probably an easy commute to Penn/University City.

While not on the Main Line. Media looks nice: Small, attractive town on the Septa 101 trolley line to Upper Darby. I assume it’s a safe, middle class suburb. [/quote]

Overbrook is pretty derelict in parts and would be low on my list. It’s not convenient to anything either. Try East Falls or Roxborough for a neighborhood on the edge of the city. Or Manayunk. Media is totally different—a cute, fairly lively suburban town. Upper Darby is not a “good” area or school district. Wallingford is nice in a suburban way. Tons of Penn commuters in that area.

Adding: People commute IME by train, high speed line to 69th St transportation center, or car. Not typically by trolley.

If you are looking at other areas, Jenkintown/Abington might be worth a look. [/quote]
