Any major changes to Media in the last couple of years? We’re looking to rent for about 2-4 years in PA and there are a few towns we’re looking at based on your videos.

[@Philadelphiasuburbs]

Just some new businesses in downtown Media!

Hi Cory, I am planning to move in this area in the summer. Do you have any recommendations on apartment complexes in Media? I am looking to rent for now so I would really appreciate if you can recommend any apartments/private homes. Thanks!

[@Philadelphiasuburbs]

Hi Bajinder, thanks for watching! Not sure of your price point but I’ve heard great things about the West End Flats, 50 Granite Run & the Media Station Apartments. If you need any further help let me know!

Hi, considering this area. Are there water activities near Media? Thank you.

[@Philadelphiasuburbs]

Ridley creek state park is very close which offers fishing or if you mean water activities such as boating, swimming, tubing, etc the Delaware river isn’t far either.

[@vera747]

@@Philadelphiasuburbs Thank you. I am in contract with my home in the Hamptons and considering Media Pa but with at least and acre of land. Looking for old charm, hopefully a swimming pool.

[@Philadelphiasuburbs]

@@vera747 Media is a fantastic area in which you’ll certainly be able to find a home that matches your criteria. Have you visited Media before?

[@NK-kx8se]

Considering the area is close to the airport, how’s the noise level??

[@Philadelphiasuburbs]

Nothing of major concern at all

[@KikoBalderas]

Which town is better in PA? wayne of phoenixville?

[@Philadelphiasuburbs]

The “better” town would come down your preference.

I am a professor in Morocco and will be hired in Lincoln university as an assistant professor. My two eldest kids go to Haverford College and live on campus. I still have only one kid who is in high school. Is it affordable for me to live in Media? My wife has a foreign nursing certificate. She has 17 years of experience in nursing. Is it easy for her to find a job at a nursing care while she may take English classes and evaluate her diploma? Thank you

[@Philadelphiasuburbs]

“Affordable” is completely different for everyone. Email me and I’d be happy to help [e-mail]

Moved from CA to Media, PA ( Upper Providence) 2.5 yrs ago. I love the little town of Media. So quaint. I have never been to Dining Under The Stars yet but plan on going this summer. Media has a good variety of restaurants. Still finding my favorites. They could use another Indian restaurant as Shere-e-punjab is a major disappointment. Overpriced based on quality and portions. Staff there is not friendly either. Also, if you are a Vegan like me they do not have Vegan rice? WTH. We also need a better Thai restaurant than Nooddi. The other thing we dont have here is a good Pizza option with gluten free Vegan options. If anyone moving to the area wants a relative newbie's perspective, let me know. I dont live in the boro but I live in a surrounding township ( Upper Providence) which shares Media's zipcode. I am about 3 miles from downtown and live next to Ridley Creedk State Park which is an actually an amazing gem for the area. I love the proximity to the airport and to Philadelphia. I have family that live on the Jersey Shore which is about 1.5 hours away. I think you can get to some parts of the Jersey shore in an hour and a half. I have no idea what part of the shore you can get to in a hour. Not happening with the outdated highways in south jersey. Plan on 2 hours during the busy season.

I totally recommend Kung Fu Tea on State Street! Very nice staff, good drinks and snacks. ❤

Media is such a nice town ! But safety is only B- and crime rate is high ?

[@Philadelphiasuburbs]

Media is a fantastic town. Do you currently live in Media?

[@ninachinCT]

No yet! Considering moving in ! I visited borough once , very cozy and classic town! Super nice ! If I understand this correctly, Media contains several townships which include borough , Middletown township and upper providence. Are they all safe ? Thanks in advance!

Hi. Planning of moving to Media, and buy a home there. What about taxes? Do you know what's the property tax rate? And, is there a local income tax? Heard about a 1% income tax? Thank you!

[@Philadelphiasuburbs]

Hi thanks for watching! The overall property tax rate for Delaware county is 2.12% and Media is a little above that. The local income tax is 1%. When do you plan on moving to Media?

[@carlosmohedano]

@@Philadelphiasuburbs Media is coming as the top option, but looking for a nice suburb area in Philly. Planning on moving to the area late this summer.

[@Philadelphiasuburbs]
