Bill E.

• We chose Cheltenham for the schools, the diversity of our community and the beautiful neighborhoods.
•  We love the people, diverse in many ways. We all share a love for Cheltenham, and there is so much talent here among this engaged community.
•  We have some of the best things of a small town yet are minutes from Philadelphia and all it has to offer.
• Our child is getting a wonderful education and is well prepared for life. This reflects the schools, the library system and the general sense of achievement and education.
• With over 300 years of history, including beautiful buildings, Camp William Penn, the heritage of the underground railroad and freedom, and the contributions of so many through the years, it’s a place worth living and preserving.
• The interaction between people and environment allows us the opportunity to learn how to respect the Earth through various means, shrinking the carbon foot print on the planet, and sustaining what we have environmentally.
