My overall experience with Glenolden, PA. is a pleasant experience. I grew up in this neighborhood and now I raise my daughter in the same neighborhood. My neighbors and the residents in my community are awesome and always willing to converse with me as well as help a person in need.

It is an average town. It is nice enough and has easy access to many stores, but there is not much to do other than shop or eat.

I just moved here from Chester County. I love that there is public transportation everywhere as I dont drive. Everyone is super helpful to me when I ask questions regarding the trolly, bus, or train. I love the police presence it helps me feel safe when walking to the store at night. There are plenty of stores around within walking distance and I also enjoy the cute little neighborhoods.

Very friendly!! I absolutely love this neighborhood!! The schools are pretty good. The teachers are truly genuine and really care about their students success. The neighborhoods are always clean and clutter-free. Always a friendly face wherever you go! I just wish their was a local boys and girls club around here.
