Home to about 17,000 people, the town’s median household income is $119,787, slightly above the state median. Many people work in healthcare, education and retail services, and the community boasts many small-sized businesses. “Abington is a great up-and-coming town,” says Menajda Kasza, a real estate agent at Coldwell Banker Realty with 6 years of experience. “It’s very commuter-friendly and gives you a small-town feel with a relaxed lifestyle.”
