What are people's thoughts on Ambler? From what I have been told, it seems that Blue Bell/Whitpain Township is much-desired with many huge (pricy) homes. Is it a snooty area?
What about downtown Ambler? Is it active? safe?
We have a child that would be enrolled at Shady Grove Elem. Good school?
How is traffic/congestion?
Any other information you can provide is very appreciated.

Nice, safe town with a great school system. You're going to have snobs in any suburban town so just ignore them. Route 73 can be an adventure during rush hour but overall the traffic isn't too bad. Good luck.
