    "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."
