If it’s inside the boundaries of the City of Philadelphia, it’s not safe. If you have the means to live elsewhere, raising a kid in this city should be considered abuse.
Accenture1, do you live in Philly or the surrounding area? Why comment on something if you have no knowledge? Google told me…and it’s spelled bala cynwyd
It’s one of the best neighborhoods in Philly, if you can afford it of course! Plenty safe. Living in any population-dense city certainly comes with its own best practices, which you’ll figure out with time!
Bella Vista is great. Even better if you can get a place in queen village (next neighborhood over) that’s within the encatchment zone for Meredith Elementary school, it’s one of the better public schools in the city.
My brother and his family live around there. South street can be a nightmare but they love their neighborhood. Kids are 3 and 6... 3yo at local daycare and 6 yo goes to McCall. They love raising their kids in the city!
I've heard decent things about that area. I'd do some more research beyond asking people on Fishbowl, though.
Yes! I have a friend who lives there. She said it's pretty safe and decent. Nice neighborhood to live in.

Yes. I lived there for 3 years and it's a pretty decent neighborhood to grow your family. And it's one of the most affordable neighborhoods around philly.
