Apartment hunting Media, Pa or Cherry Hill, NJ

When we lived in Garnet Valley we paid about $200 - $300 a month for electricity for a house.

Obviously I missed another lively debate on the merits of suburban living in PA vs. NJ. Thanks to toobusytoday for stopping in every so often.

Both towns have plenty of merits along with some mild drawbacks, depending on one's preferences. One can certainly be proud to say that they live in either Media or Cherry Hill.

Dont forget about the higher ancillary costs, state of the art soul destroying super highways, and the forcibly integrated socio economic housing.

Although I don't find it to be a terrible idea to have inclusionary housing that is affordable to all income classes, I think there is something (negative) to say about development that is mostly post-WWII suburbia without much regard for adequate public transportation, pedestrian-friendliness, or independent businesses. This makes for an extremely vibrant and organic community.

Simply put, Media has all of that -- Cherry Hill doesn't.
