Havertown is a suburban town approximately 10 miles west of Philadelphia. Close enough to make use of the many advantages but far enough to enjoy space and relaxed living. So many Irish immigrants settled in Havertown that it was said that there were more people in Havertown who claimed to be Irish then there were in Ireland.
Havertown is a rich and colorful town with an excess of Nail Salons and Pizza Parlors, and growing venue of upscale and specialty dining establishments. The schools in Havertown are top end in academics, art, theater and social tolerance. Don't be surprised to run into suburban moms and dads building archery ranges or open fires in their back yards, or out on pub crawls with the neighbors. The police of Havertown are serious, hard working and honest. If you behave yourself then they'll ignore your fire and public drunkenness. If you make an ass of yourself then you'll get to see the inside of a cell.
Folks who live in Havertown tend to stay in Havertown often purchasing homes on the same street where they grew up. People don't outgrow their homes and move on; they simply put additions on their houses. Children graduate from College and move to Philadelphia or wander the country or the world. Most come back to Havertown when they are ready to get serious and start families.

No Karen, I don't want to go drinking in Center City. I'm staying in Havertown; my daughter's in the Haverford High School musical. We're going to walk home after the show and stop for beers and pizza before the entire cast comes back to my house for a bonfire.

A city in located in suburban Philadelphia in Haverford Township, Delaware County. It has the privilege of being surrounded on three sides by the affluent towns of Broomall, Ardmore, and Haverford and the curse of butting up against Upper Darby on the fourth. The school district is excellent, and the neighborhoods are safe. The Main Line is a stone's throw away, which gives you access to all it has to offer: schools, first-class shopping, bike trails, etc. On the down side, Havertown is full of soccer moms who won't think twice about blocking the aisle in Super Fresh and refusing to let you pass, cutting you off in traffic, or stealing your primo parking spot at the Manoa Shopping Center. Their husbands are terrors, too, who will try to run you down at crosswalks with their Beamers and get mouthy if you hold up the line at the bank or the supermarket. Havertown kids are loud and rude and think they're gangsta when they're not. The cops are lazy but have plenty of energy to secret themselves in the dark recesses of the Swell Bubble Gum parking lot every Saturday night in the hope of nailing speeders. Havertown has lots of Havertrash, people who had to settle for Havertown because they couldn't quite afford that McMansion on the Main Line; as a result, their attitudes are foul and they take their disappointment out on those around them.

Havertown is a suburb outside of Philadelphia. It isn't on the Main Line, but many there claim to live on it. I live in Havertown, and there are many misconceptions about it. Many jerks from the Main Line call us poor because we live outside of the very wealthy Main Line. Just because we don't have a wardrobe of Abercrombie clothes, a huge house, or go to the top private school doesn't make you better than us. It's quite possible to succeed, and I'm able to attend a top notch high school because I won scholarship money. Up yours Main Line, up yours.
"Oh, she lives in Havertown because she can't afford the main line," Bobby said.
"Actually, Havertown is a great place to live. Stop being stuck up."

Havertown.... A town where you'll find drunken ass kids walking around on almost every street. Drinking and smoking or just getting fucked up is the only thing to do because there's absolutely no way to entertain yourself or have fun any other way. You can always find a nice party and the main choice for beer is "Natty Ice", which you'll find empty cans in every almost every park. You can always find weed and find kids who sell eho which think they are "El Chapo." You can always find some bad bitches around here and it takes about 5 minutes to take them to your house for the night. There a variety of different kids which includes; Prepy frat kids (who think they're better then everyone else, Athletes, hardasses, so called "gangstas", junkies (drug addicts), thots, and normal everyday people. Havertown is a very unique place, and a good place to raise your children if you want them to be a bunch of drunks who know how to party. Cops in Havertown are and will be the biggest assholes you'll ever meet in your life. They love going after drunk teenagers and pot smokers and will go to any lengths just to catch you, so you got to be on alert at all times. Every kid who lives in Havertown wants to get out and move as far away as possible, but once they leave they miss it and would do anything to go back. You can leave Havertown but the Havertown will never leave you! (This is also a fact)

A suburb of Philadelphia where kids are privleged with a good school district, and a nice place to live. However, there are tons of posers. Kids try to act gangsta wearing baggy clothes and sideways hats. The girls try to be slutty, and the police are Assholes.

Home to Haverford High School, Super-wawa, and the amazing cenzos (pronounced "chen-zoes", not "sen-zoes"). Recreational drug use is the norm, and everyone knows that Varsity is where to get your alcohol.
Whether your trying to squeeze through the mass of pre-teen hoes and drunken high-schoolers to get into Superwawa, or enjoying a blunt at the Skatium (right next to the police station) , you are guareenteed a good time.
