I grew up in Levittown all my life. I've found that the Neshaminy Levittown sections (snowball, forsythia, red rose, twin oaks, etc) are safer than the Bristol Levittown sections (dogwood, etc). Another suggestion is to go to the section around twilight and look around for people out and about in the section. In snowball around sunset you see people walking their dogs, kids riding bikes, couples taking a stroll, people mowing their lawn, etc. It shows that the area is safe and has a real community feel to it.

Hi Colleen,... I believe your Realtor will be able to assist you with this information. Remember please, that in most cases, when you are the buyer, your Realtor Services are free, so you have no reason not to use one. Your Realtor can give you information on Schools, and community. There are many places you can also go for information... Ask the local police department. check out the Megan's Law information in the neighborhood. Check out the local environmental information. Do your due dilligence before you buy your home. Good luck to you

Hello Colleen,
In my opinion Red Cedar is a very nice neighborhood. I've shown many homes in Red Cedar. If you ask 10 different people that question you are going to get 10 different answers. You can try calling the Bristol Township Police Department directly & someone will give you the answers you are looking for with regards to crime & safety.

Hi Colleen:

Your Realtor can provide crime statistics for a given area, plus, you can always drive by the neighborhood, assuming you are local to do so.

Outside of that, I suggest that you contact the local police department (there will be a non 911 number for general information) where the home you are intersted in is located. In Pennsylvania, most police departments are located in the same building as the township's municipality (exception is cities such as Philadelphia, etc.).

When you call, tell them you are interested in a home located on such and such street and ask them to provide information on the street and neighborhood. They may put you in touch with a police officer who handles these types of questions.

If you ask that question to 10 different people, you will probably get 10 different answers. I would recommend doing a couple of drive-bys in the neighborhood at various times including friday and saturday night. Also, when you see some neighbors outside, it cannot hurt to ask them what there opinion and assessment of their neighborhood is since they live there. Further, your buyers agent would have access to local crime statistics and so forth. Good luck in your progress !
