Been living here since 2014. Median household income is $74,698, which feels about average for the area. Household incomes average around $74,698 in Birdsboro. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. The suburbs are where most families end up.

I'm a chef and I've found it exceeded my expectations. The community is challenging and there's always something going on.

Gonna give a different perspective here since most replies seem pretty good.
I've been here 8 years and it's exactly what I was looking for. The thing nobody mentions is healthcare. It's affordable and it affects daily life more than you'd think.
That said, the public transit is legit. And if you're into fishing, this place is average.
Neighborhood matters A LOT here. The Cedar Grove side vs the Oak Park side are basically different cities. Make sure you visit both before deciding.
Would recommend to anyone considering it..

Bought a house here in 2023 and it was the best decision I ever made. Property values have gone up a bit since then.

Real talk - this place is not for everyone, and I think that's OK.
If you value public transit, you'll love it. The nightlife is genuinely decent and I've found I genuinely enjoy living here. My neighborhood (Highland) is wild and I feel safe walking around at night.
But if you're coming from Dallas, be prepared for the culture shock. dating scene is completely different here. And Traffic during rush hour is rough.
My advice would be to visit for at least a week before committing. Rent first, don't buy. And explore multiple neighborhoods - they're all different.

Bought a house here in 2021 and I'm still on the fence after all this time. Property values have gone up a bit since then.

Came here for work and stayed because I have mixed feelings honestly. The safety is honestly excellent and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
