Default Best town for a stay-at-home mom.

We are moving to PA from DC for my husbands job in Spring House. Ive narrowed the areas down, basically by where there are houses for rent.

North Wales area
Ambler, not really much for rent there
Bluebell
Lafayette Hill
White Marsh

We are coming from the DC suburbs where there is a very vibrant social culture for stay-at-home moms and kids. Lots of meet up areas, always making friends at playgrounds, play groups etc.

I am wondering which of these towns I will be most able to find that type of culture. Of course good schools to.

Feel free to recommend other areas.

Thanks!!

you've named a bunch of adjacent suburban areas that quite frankly aren't a whole lot different from one another. i don't know much about the stay-at-home mom culture, but can't imagine it would be a whole lot different from one to another. there's a really cool playground just outside of north wales borough (across from Merck on Sumneytown Pike), by the way.

Check out the Elkins Park area (Cheltenham School District)

Lots of parks near by and a intimate community. Close to the city as well.
