Serina, I currently live in Morton and my son attends the Springfield school district. The schools here are highly rated, traffic is normal in the residential area, and Morton is very close to rail transportation and a great commerical district.
Check out the philly.com school ratings report card for more information:

As for the price increase, this happened at the height of the subprime lending era. However, prices here are still very affordable in comparison to other areas. Please contact me if you have any additional questions. I would be happy to assist you in finding your new home.

Hi sabrina, wise choice, springfield schools are highly rated, prices increased on par with everywhere else, in delco when the market was hot. If you would like a local realtor to assist you, just send me an email. Good luck with your home search, i hope this was helpful!!
