Shopping and Dining

West Vincent is a car-dependent neighborhood, but the amenities possibly compensate for that. “There’s good shopping and dining,” Dienno says. Onorati adds, “The convenience of shopping is great.” On the outskirts of the neighborhood of Hares Hill Road is the fine dining establishment Kimberton Inn. Across the way is a Whole Foods grocery store and Excursion Cider. On the opposite end of the area are Revival Pizza Pub, Ludwig's Grill & Oyster Bar, Wawa and Collective Coffee Café. “There’s every convenience imaginable,” says Onorati.

GreatSchools: The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
