Why I Love Newtown Square

by Ed Partridge

Ed Partridge, Vice Chairman, Board of Supervisors, Newtown Township, Delaware County, PA

I love Newtown Square because it is a town rich in history and diversity. It provides a beautiful setting for families to live, work and enjoy many amenities such as parks and walking trails, youth activities and sports, local shopping and restaurants. My late wife Kate and I, with our two sons moved to Newtown Square 26 years ago. We were attracted to the beautiful neighborhoods, great schools and pristine sports fields that provided our boys with many opportunities. They grew up in Newtown Square and have many great memories that they now share with their children.

Newtown Square is a growing community of over 13,000 residents. Many new commercial establishments are providing opportunities for employment, shopping and dining for members of the community. Recent resident development has created many new neighborhoods while still maintaining a small-town feel.

Today, my wife Marie Therese, our three sons and five grandchildren enjoy all that Newtown Square has to offer. We spend time together attending local events, dining out or visiting friends. Family gatherings, backyard barbecues and fun in the winter snow create memories that we’ll always cherish.

Newtown Square provides several quality educational choices, both public and private. The town provides great services yet has relatively low real estate taxes. I recommend Newtown Square as a great place to settle and raise a family and wish all my Newtown Square Friends & Neighbors a wonderful Holiday Season and Happy New Year!
