Blog Change
After much consideration I have decided to change the format of this blog to a team effort, allowing others who live in Delaware County to post their own views about what's on their mind. If you are interested in joining this blog, please contact me by e mail and let me know a little bit about yourself and why you would like to join.
Thanks.
Thanks.

it's about time!
My wife and I are investgating Drexel Hill, Glenolden, Lansdowne and U Derby as possible communities to purchase a home. We have two boys, 7 and 2 years old. We'll are relocating from the Jersey Shore and know little about these areas. Any comments on these communities from anyone with past experience would be most helpful, as info obtained from RE Agents isn't always reliable. Good schools (academics & athletics), diverse, friendly neighbohoods, stable real estate values ($250- $300K range), etc. would be a plus. We drove around Drexel Hill yesterday and liked what we saw...Thanks!
Since my wife is a wolverine I'm not sure how she'll feel about me trying to help you out, but anyway...
I'd stay out of Lansdowne for a variety of reasons. We almost bought in Drexel Hill.Glenolden is a nice neighborhood, stable. Ridley Park is a little above Glenolden though in quality.
Welcome to Delco (hopefully) fellow ex-jersey shore'r (my hometown is near Toms River).
As far as schools, go to:
school statistics; http://nces.ed.gov/globallocator/
No Child Left Behind ratings/stats;

That's about all I know. Sorry for the late response, just discovered this site.
Drexel Hill- Ok. Upper Darby near 69th st - No good. Glenolden - horrible.
