    "Easy access to all things I need. Very convenient to live in my area. The only thing that is a hinderance right now is Septa routes being cut but other than that it is easy to commute to areas around the city and in the suburb areas from where I live."

    "I grew up in overbrook park since i was a kid since the 2000’s. Went to Lamberton, always was at the library and over the years just watched how so many things in the neighborhood transformed. It was always safe growing up here because everyone in the neighborhood knew one another and our parents knew eachother. Alot of things changed since but even then the neighborhood is still nice and upkept. I still recommend anyone to live up there.. i plan to move back"

    "It’s walkable. But why are we focused on dog owners? Better questions: does sanitation run as scheduled, is there a sense of community, are the streets clean, etc. "

Close proximity to everything. 15-20 to Central Philly, five minutes to City Ave and the suburbs, massive homes and close to parks. There’s a lot of potential and can easily be the next hot spot."
