[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]stay away from Chestnut Hill..sorry typing too fast[/quote]

Why?[/quote]

Chestnut Hill is right next to one of the roughest areas of the city..walk the direction and you have a problem...a large problem. Too many nice areas to have to deal with this. Sad but true. Ardmore also has some crime issues but nowhere near what you would see close to Chestnut Hill area. I would stick to Haverford esp if you are looking at private school because a lot people will send their kids to privates. If you want to consider not sending to Private, then consider Radnor--beautiful and most people send their kids to public. I also feel like staying sw of the city gives you easier access to DC and 95--the northern burbs are just not as ideal.[/quote]

I live in Chestnut Hill. It is not right next to one of the roughest areas of the city. Do you mean Mt Airy? It's hippies and young families. Granted, [i]next[/i] to Mt Airy you have Germantown, which isn't great. But I've never seen - or even heard of - crime in Chestnut Hill. There's no doubt some exists, of course, as it does everywhere, but there certainty isn't more than anywhere else. I suppose it depends on what you want. I'm not a suburbanite. I like walking to shop, go to the neighborhood pub for dinner or drinks, etc.[/quote]
