My Lifestyle Living In Glassboro 3.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 10, 2018) As many of you surely know, Glassboro, New Jersey is a town that is just south of Philadelphia. Living in Glassboro for so many years of my life has led me to deeply appreciate the culture of the area. Not only is Glassboro known for its low home prices in comparison to the state ...Read More , we also enjoy a relatively safe city as well.

Some of the best areas in Glassboro to shop can be found on High Street East, as you have places like On Point Dance and Activewear, Little Beefs restaurant, as well as Glassboro Town Square. Not typically on many folks radar, you would easily miss this gem of New Jersey if you were driving too fast.

The Glassboro Public Library is an asset that I would enjoy sharing with anyone, as many of my days were spent there studying for finals as I anticipated what I would eat on my Pizza at Little Sicily Pizza next door. All in all, if you are looking for a safe environment with plenty to do, Glassboro is the place for you! Read Less
