Safe area, low crime and close to Philly and not much to do though and is isolated in its own area , but nice overall

This suburb of Philadelphia is relatively quiet and calm. The neighbors of this area are extremely friendly and outgoing, they do not mind going out of their way to spark up an intriguing conversation. The strip mall within this area is very reliable, due to how the multitude of stores provides a variety of valuable products.

Wyncote is more family based because you have the parks that around that area and it makes the family feel more welcome. Most of the time there is something that is going on in the township its self that parents can do with their kids. For example the harvest festival that happens every October for Halloween its a lot of fun for when your a little kid.
