Neighborhood Description This is a four bedroom 2.5 bath Colonial in a 70 home cul-de-sac community of "Blue Bell Crossing." This is a family friendly established community where children can ride their bikes and still stay close to home. From home, you can drive into the City (30th Street Station, University of Pennsylvania, Art Museum) in only 25 minutes. You are also less than 7 miles from the King of Prussia Mall, a 15 minute drive. However if you prefer, you can walk a ¼ mile to the #98 Septa Bus that takes the Norristown Transportation Center (NTC). From there you can take the #99 Bus to the King of Prussia Mall or pick up the R6 commuter train into Center City Philadelphia. From the NTC there are numerous other connections you can make. The Septa Elm Street Station (R6 line) in Norristown is only 10 minutes/ 3.5 miles away by car, or you can take the #98 bus to get there. The #98 bus, again only ¼ mile away from home, also goes to Henkles & McCoy, Aetna, Siemans, Unisys and Ambler Railroad stations. From home, walk 1 mile (or transfer from the #98 Bus) to pick up the #90 Bus to the Plymouth Meeting Mall (Whole Foods, Macy's, a 10 screen movie theater and newly built restaurants). You can easily walk or bicycle from home to the Aetna complex and Siemens. We are also less than 15 minutes by car from the Merck complex in Lansdale. Mermaid Lake Swim Club (camps, golf, swimming, tennis) is less than one mile away, and so is local shopping (Walgreen’s, CVS, Giant, Blockbusters, and restaurants). Montgomery County Community College is less than a 10 minute drive away.
