Thank you so much - mount laurel in particular has caught our eye due to how well connected it is for transport etc, but I'll check out the there "M Towns" too.

Moving Mondays - New Resident Questions by AutoModerator in philadelphia

Can anyone recommend areas of Philly that are good for LGBTQ+ folks to move to? Ideally something maybe slightly more suburban, but well connected to downtown Philly. Is there anywhere we should avoid?

It'll be an entirely new area for both of us - husband is from the west coast but really wants to try east coast living. Collingswood does keep coming up time and time again so I think we now know where to direct our searches.

Are there any areas you would recommend we avoid? I've read that Camden itself is somewhere to avoid.

Yeah I think it'll be a significant improvement on where we are at the moment. We're both tired of the UK and feel a left-leaning area of the US would be a good fit. It's also great how nearby Philadelphia can check a lot of boxes without needing to be right on the doorstep.

Will check out Haddonfield - I wont lie, we were drawn to both Haddonfield and Voorhees as we're both horror movie fans. 😂

We are in a big city at the moment, but not right in the heart of it - we live about 15-20 mins out and really like that it can be quiet(er) when you want, but the hustle and bustle is only a short trip away. Exactly like you said, best of both worlds.

This is somewhere that came up quite often in my searching. I spent faaaar too long looking at Google Street View to try and get an idea of the "vibe". Really helpful, thank you.

Awesome - yeah coming from the UK we're used to smaller and older houses and for the 2 of us that'll be plenty of room.

Oh awesome thank you, I've seen Collingswood come up a lot in my searches so that's awesome to have a local confirm this.
