Delaware County communities have been making a lot of top 20 “best of” lists lately when it comes to finding a desirable place to live.
While the city of Philadelphia has plenty to offer, its suburbs can also provide affordability, extra living space and amazing amenities, writes Patrick McNichol for Suburban Solutions.
Here in Delaware County, three communities are getting “best of” positive reviews for unique offerings beyond even that.
