Main Line Crime and Safety

Crime and Safety

Although no area is completely free of crime, the Main Line area is considered a very safe place to live. Below we review the local crime report from the Lower Merion crime news feed.

If you are worried about crime in your community, you can be a part of the solution. Be an active agent for change in your own neighborhood. Keep an eye out for your neighbors. Be aware of your surroundings. Have a buddy system. Report suspicious activities to the police, your commissioners, and your local papers. If you see a crime, report it. If you are a victim of crime, report it.

Main Line Schools

Top-Notch Education

Not only does the Main Line have some of the best and highest rated grade schools, but is home to many world-class colleges and universities as well. One of the driving forces of real estate prices and a big part of desirability is an area's school system.
