Abington quality of life -am I missing something?

Not sure if this has been asked before, but I'm a teacher here and Crime rate is something to consider -Abington sits at 139.8 per 100K. Night life is decent if you know the right spots. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. What would you do?

Raising a family in Abington -thoughts?

Military spouse here. Average temperature is around 51--F, so expect cold winters. The weather takes some getting used to. It's not perfect, but the community is solid. It's a very car-dependent city, for better or worse. I'd say it's better for families than young singles.
