Ah...been a while since I've been there....Theres an all girls high school right there too...my bus used to drive down there to pick up some of their students for our district...
A lot of row homes, but some singles (other than the rich areas previously described)...thats a nice area of the city...there are few other areas which I'd say are better, but not many...not many at all.
Nazareth Academy is the girls' high school you are speaking of and I am one of the residents in those row homes. Torresdale is a very nice area. I don't know how it will be when I begin a family but if it stays the same, I would like to live here.
I will give you that Phil. Torresdale/Eden Hall is a nice area. Not sure where I'll be living but my guess is Montgomery or Bucks Counties.
