I've lived in Pennsylvania all of my life. I lived specifically in Chalfont for 10 years now, and it is, as the rating says, okay. The Schools in the area are great  More

Laurel as a whole is not a bad place to live. Housing is considerably cheaper than in many parts of the DC/Baltimore area. There are some nice shops and restaurants  More
