    Melrose Park, Elkins Park
    "It is like a park. All gardens are tended and beautiful. We have a lot of birds. What I miss are the happy noises of children. There are no block parties , no get together with neighbors just with our next door. But it is close to Center City, where we find everything on the arts. Jenkintown is close with all the Restaurants and little store. But life here is expensive and only for people in their best and high earning years of their life. The schools are excellent so children are in good hands."

    "The school system is great. This is a family oriented neighborhood, with shopping, speciality shops, full staff police family and volunteer firefighter opportunities. The neighbors are friendly and there is an effort of unity with block parties, playground where families gather and churches and synagogues near. The suburban train stations are near and the children are safe to walk around the neighborhood with with friends and play outdoors safely."
