    "Lived here for a while it’s probably the last nice neighborhood in Northeast Philadelphia. Still reasonably priced houses. Elementary and middle schools are still good but you will have to figure out something for high school because Washington is not a good school.. "

    "buses are everywhere, very easy to get anywhere. bad traffic, close to 95, RT. 1 and the turnpike. 1.5 hours to beach or Mtns. NY and Baltimore 2 hours on a train. 25 minutes to the airport. Good Doctors however, are hard to find. I love the convenience of Philly, but hate the noise! constant car crashes at my corner, fire, police, ambulance and bus noise are a constant issue. "
