Characteristics

Transportation

The car is usually the best way to navigate Edgemoor. It is straightforward to park, and most properties for sale are a rather short car ride from the closest highway, such as I-495. However, Edgemoor is not very transit friendly. Nevertheless, residents benefit from a few bus lines, and bus stops are not very far-removed from most properties. This part of the Greater Philadelphia metropolitan area is not especially conducive to cycling because there are few bike lanes, and bicycling is rendered arduous by the typically sloping topography. Getting around as a pedestrian in Edgemoor is also not very popular, although carrying out daily needs is convenient without a vehicle.

Services

House buyers will welcome that wherever their home is situated in Edgemoor, primary schools are close by. In contrast, locals may consider it difficult to access high schools without a car. Besides public schools, there are private elementary schools. In terms of eating, a grocery store is ordinarily accessible within a short trip from any location in Edgemoor. Moreover, this community is a fairly good place in which to go out to eat, and a small selection of cafes is available as well. It is also convenient to access a variety of clothing stores as a pedestrian.

Character

Edgemoor offers a calm environment and will appeal to home buyers who enjoy spending time in green spaces. This part of the Greater Philadelphia metropolitan area is good for those who like a quiet atmosphere, as noise from the streets and other parts of the city is rarely an issue - although that is not the case near one of the railway lines or I-495. Finally, it is very easy to access public green spaces in the community since there are about 10 of them nearby for residents to explore.
