    "I have lived here for about 6 years now and I believe it is a really good area. The neighborhoods are safe and quiet. However, everyone is friendly. We take our kids trick-o-treating and they have a blast. The school districts are also terrific. In addition, the area has easy access to major expressways (476 and US 1). Finally, this area is located right next to downtown Media. Thus, there are great restaurants and entertainment to explore in the evening. All in all, I think it is a great place."
