"Decent little neighborhood next to the mall"
Millbrook is a subdivision made up of ranch style homes and row homes in the Northeast section of Philadelphia. Often referred to as Chalfont, the middle class neighborhood is located near Franklin Mills Mall. This super mall is a huge draw for tourists as it has over 200 shops and two food courts among other things. There are also not major chain stores not attached to the mall in the same plaza.
Because of the vicinity to the mall and major highways traffic near Millbrook tends to get heavy especially during peak hours. Public transportation is accessible as there are a few bus routes that run through the area. Ideally if you choose to live in Millbrook you would want to own or have access to a car because it will make getting around much easier. Plus parking is relatively easy in the neighborhood as well.
Overall Millbrook is a pleasant suburban-esque community that is pretty distant from the rest of the city. Another draw of the neighborhood is that crime rate is low and it’s clean. The downside however is that it’s a little expensive if you’re renting. Most of the residents in Millbrook are homeowners who have been there for some time.

"City life with a suburban feel"
Millbrook, also known as Chalfont, is a neighborhood located in the Northeast section of Philadelphia. It is adjacent to Franklin Mills and consists of an ethnically diverse residency.
Millbrook offers many housing opportunities including classic style row homes, single-family and twin houses, and even a couple of twin rancher homes found in the subdivisions of Robindale, DiMarco and Chalfont. Living in Millbrook is affordable and it is a desirable location to live in due to the fact that crime rate is low. This is because of the neighborhood being about 15 miles away from Center City and having a suburban feel to it.
One of the major draws of Millbrook is Franklin Mills, a large enclosed shopping mall that offers many stores.
There are many public transportation services in Millbrook including SEPTA and a number of taxi services. It is ideal to own a car in this neighborhood because things are spread out and you cannot simply walk to the supermarket or to a bar as easily as you could if you lived closer to the city.
Millbrook makes the perfect location for families with small kids or even young professionals wanting to get a taste of the city life.
