Ok so moving very soon and need to pick between two places: one in phoenixville, one in Exton. My girlfriend and I are both moving. Perk of phoenixville: more affordable. Perk of Exton: shaves 15 off her commute (by the gps, who knows with traffic) but doesn't effect mine. Were both mid to late 20s, no kids. Which would be better in your opinions? Thanks!

I prefer the Phoenixville "look and feel," but have to give Exton an edge in this case because commuting around there can be dreadful. If the nominal saving is 15 minutes (1/2 hr/day), then the actual saving's going to likely be even greater. Also, Exton has [a] rail access to Center City (P'ville does not) and [b] is close to West Chester, which has a really nice downtown area (restaurants, shops).
