We are moving in the new year and are torn between renting near Ogden by the Delaware border or potentially buying our first house in essington.
Not being from the area I'm not sure how safe this is. Hubby would be away alot and with a small child I want to feel safe enough to walk around. This wouldn't be our forever home but seems within our budget for buying.
Can anyone offer any advise or suggestions. Thanks

From my perception of the area, having never lived there. I've just driven through there and have known some people from there. Not at all a dangerous area, just kind of working-class. It's not very aesthetically pleasing but I don't think there would be any serious crime issues there. Schools are probably slightly below average but not terrible.

Essington is really close to the end of the runways at PHL airport. I don't think the aircraft directly overfly Essington, but they are pretty close over the river. I'd take that into consideration.
