Reply to comment by snooloosey in Is germantown friends school as good as they say? by snooloosey
They do open houses, go check it out. It seems lovely. I’ve known a few graduates through the years and they are all very bright and personable.

Reply to comment by ummreally in Best Pizza in University City? One that delivers to CHOP by SocialAssassinz
Pizzaplus has me so conflicted, on one hand they’re the best pizza in Philly by far and they deserve the business but on the other I don’t want it to blow up to the point it’s hard to eat there. Can’t be giving out the secret to just anyone imo.

I live in the neighborhood and it seems really nice, I think the extra $$ it costs over other friends schools goes to them having a lot of athletic facilities, as well as other areas of interest outside of the regular classroom.

that's not quite true, places like Meredith (and nearby Nebinger these days) are pretty decent, although your mortgage payment will be so much higher that you may as well be paying school fees.
Except you'll build equity up and get that money back when you go to sell
If an area is expensive, it's almost entirely because the school is decent and there's competition from parents with kids to live in that area. It's why once an area starts to gentrify, it moves fast as incoming families mean that the school performs better which makes it more attractive still, in a positive feedback loop.

Let’s not forget all of the cars that park in front of sidewalk ramps.

Well, they'll stone you when you're trying to be so good,
They'll stone you just like they said they would...
They'll stone you when you're trying to go home!
And they'll stone you when you're there all alone.
But I would not feel so all alone, everybody must get stoned!

If money isn’t an object I’d say go for Penn Charter down the street. GFS is a fantastic school though.

Politicians never have to make good on their promises. It’s all about getting elected/re-elected.

Stay away from Manayunk and Roxborough. Manayunk has steep hills. I don’t think you can go wrong in Center City, especially if you work there too. You have the buses and it’s relatively flat. There are a lot of hi rises with elevators. You probably should check with a realtor to help you find an apartment. There is one on here “decentChinese food” that you could message.
