    I live in North West Philadelphia in Mt. Airy. I love my neighborhood, the diversity and how close it is to the Wisahickon trails.

    I live in Bensalem in Bucks County, have been here about 10 years. Used to live in Montgomery Co for 16 years in Wyndmoor and Chestnut Hill.

    Bensalem is a nice central location, has an incredible variety of neighborhoods, and also has a lot of mountain biking trails that I use as running trails. Tyler State Park has an awesome network of riding and walking trails, it's a real treasure right next to Newtown, only 15 minutes away.

    I like it here, can you tell? :flowerforyou:

    I am trying to get a regular group of people together on the weekends for hiking. Anyone interested? I would love to spend more time in the Wissahickon exploring many of the trails.

    I live in Cheltenham, Montgomery County. Move here from Mt. Airy a few years ago. We rehabbed a house to have low impact on the environment. It's a nice area, not too far from the city. Good walking trails.

    Born in the Olney section, lived there for 8 years until it got too sketchy, folks moved out to Bucks County, where I grew up, then moved out to Western PA for college, then lived in the D.C. area for 4 years, then moved to NYC for grad school, and now I'm almost back where I started, living in Mt. Airy. I like it a lot, I walk to work and take public transit or walk everywhere (cause I can't afford and don't want to deal with the hassles of a car!), it's not bad at all though it's a little on the boring side for a young single person - there's a lot of young families in the area, and I imagine it's ideal for them.

    I have lived in Philly since 1990. I have lived in Fairmount section of Philadelphia, Roxborough and now Mt. Airy. Love living in Mt. Airy for the diversity, location (I live right next door to the train station). I live within walking distance to the many trails in Fairmount park and not far from the restaurants and stores of Chestnut Hill.

    Hi.. originally from Toronto, Ontario but moved to this area in '95 for my then fiance / now husband - living in beautiful, historic Bucks County. We are in Fairless Hills but I work in KOP.. I love this area .. there is so much to do and I am close enough to some great shopping ..

    Hey,
    I can relate with you. I am from Hamilton, Ontario and moved to Philadelphia in 2009 to be with my husband that I had met online and who was born and raised in Philadelphia.

    Right now we are in Chinatown and I like it. It's close enough to everything that we can live without a car and it's safe.
