Travel Info Can anyone recommend a town to move to in PA 1 to 1-1/2 hours from Philly? My family lives in Jersey.? Travel Tips My family lives in Jersey, too! There's a cute little town just outside of Philadelphia called Jenkintown. It's way less then 1-1/2 hours away from Philly... by car it's about 20-30 minutes depending on where in the city you're going. It's a small town with a long history. It's clean, it's quiet (usually) and it's safe. The public schools there are wonderful. They have amazing art and sports programs. Academically, they are among the highest ranked schools in the state (at least they were when I went there!). There is a grocery store, a gas station or two and many churches. Jenkintown is not far from two libraries and an excellent hospital (Abington Memorial... three of my children were born there!). It really is a wonderful little town. I would highly recommend it! Others Try the West Chester area or Royersford or even Bensalem, which is much closer to Philly. Chester County----Coatsville Norristown upper bucks county. sellersville/perkasie. upper montgomery county, harleysville/tylersport. If you're going to do that, keep in mind that typically, your commute into the City itself will take you onto I-76 (Schuylkyll Expressway), 476 or I-95, which can make even a drive of a short distance into an hour long trip. I work 15 minutes away in NJ (it's 15 minutes if you're driving at 5am) but it normally takes me 45-60 minutes to get home....literally, <14 miles. And why not just move into the city? There's a lot of public transportation to take you where you need to go outside of the city. I live in Langhorne, and its nice with all the grocery stores and both the Neshaminy and Oxford Valley Malls close by.... However, I'm hoping to move into Philadelphia when my apartment lease is up next year. |
