[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Grew up in Philly suburbs and would move back in a hot minute.  Main line public schools are excellent.  Districts are small.  Try Aardmore near Suburban Square.  I believe it’s zoned for Lower Merion, which is an excellent school district.  There are other walkable areas in Narberth and Radnor.  Septa stations nearby to get you into town.  [/quote]

Lawyer Merion.
Philly suburbs every time, OP. The best. Would move in a minute. Good luck.[/quote]

It’s cold there, the state universities are absurdly expensive, less diversity, less walkability, and high inequality. No thanks.[/quote]

+1 If you're used to the diversity and the public school systems in this area, go to Richmond. Access to Virginia's colleges and universities at in-state tuition rates. Housing stock is more affordable.

I have a sibling who settled on the main line outside of Philly, and nieces/nephews who are in a well-regarded public school system there. Agree with PP that PA districts are small. In practice, these incredibly small districts splinter larger communities by socioeconomic status, and public school kids generally aren't going to school with kids from different backgrounds from their own. The neighborhood that they live in is gorgeous, but I wouldn't want to be part of this type of public school system:
