There are not as many restaurants that have high quality food, bars, and atmosphere. There are no clubs in my area whatsoever. Most of these things are located downtown in Central Philadelphia. There are a few small restaurants but they are mostly appropriate for lunch and not dinner. There are mostly fast food places in my area and that is where people get their dinner quick but it is not appropriate for the perfect night out with friends and family.

Most f the stores in the area sell a specific range of items, such as electronics or food. Since there are a lot of stores it is very easy to find what you are looking for. Even if you have trouble finding something there is also a target fairly close by.

overall the neighborhood I live in is nice. I have great neighbors the stores are convenient and there are plenty of buses that take you where ever you need to go. I choose to move here because its location is close to the high way so it easy access to getting to Montgomery county the north east and center city. I would definitely live here again. don't think its the best in the country but definitely one of the better areas in Philadelphia. I believe the future of this place will be taken over by saint Joes college making there more dorms and the schools property expand.
