Hello...
So my husband and I currently live in Levittown. And we are looking for a nice town to move to. We have been in Levittown for 4 years, and I am itching to get out. I am originally from Upper Bucks and miss it dearly. But since my husband works in Philadelphia, it would be too far of a commute. We are looking for a nice town to start a family in, so good school districts are important. He is community to the West side of the city now, but soon his company will be down in the navy yard. So he would like to have a 30-40 minute commute, no longer. New Jersey is out, too far from my family in upper bucks. Hope you can help....

Thanks

Jenkintown, Glenside, Abington.....Just a (relatively) quick shot up 309 (or the Turnpike) to Upper Bucks. Great family-friendly inner-ring suburbs with excellent access to Regional Rail. Close to everything.

Abington? Upper Dublin? Ambler/Whitpain? Horsham? These come to mind, depending on what you are looking for (size of house, budget)

Why dont you move a few miles to Langhorne? or even Holland? You still will have a similar commute that you have now, be close to your family in Upper Bucks, etc.. That way it won't be as drastic of a move on your family either. And Neshaminy schools are blue ribbon.
