Wyncote is a safe place where activities are held for kids, libraries and schools are easily accessible and access to fast and healthy foods are effortlessly available to residents. The crime rate is relatively very low , children are safe and the neighborhoods are calm.

Living in Wyncote is very rewarding. I have lived here for 2 years and since moving from the city I can honestly say I am happy with the change. It is very quiet and clean. Schools are awesome, businesses are welcoming, organized, and friendly. I enjoy living here with the great communities within the neighbors are always friendly and they are pet welcoming as well.

I have had bad experiences with crime in my area and school. I am not sure if others can relate. I also do not trust the police in my area because they have proven themselves to be less than professional.
