A few murders have occurred in the past few years but with a heavy police presence citizens feel safe. Road crimes such as speeding and causing accidents do happen on a daily basis. | | Homes between Gay and 322 are higher quality and a very nice place to live with parks and a golf club and a sense of security. This area is mostly white, upperclass. As are high to Downington Pike. Homes between Market and Union are very different. They are not well maintained and one does not feel safe driving down those streets. Farther down High street is the college and lots of college dorms. one are new buildings, some are old but well preserved. | | West Chester is a college town so there are a lot of younger, single, and educated people living in it.

| Noise | | town comparison vs. | | Best hospital | | Tourist attractions |
| Busy one way streets lead to some car noises, a bustling epicenter provides lots of music and people on the street making noise, and the city is surrounded by 322 and 202, two major bypasses. | | Downingtown feels more run down and not as in touch with its history as West Chester. West Chester feels safer to live downtown than it does in Downingtown. Philadelphia is a hustle bustle city, while West Chester has its busyness but nowhere near that of a large city. West Chester provides affluence and small town together without overwhelming those living there. | | Chester County Hospital. A bit on the expensive side but has divisions for any health concern and is equipped with a helo pad should an airlift to another hospital be required. | | The downtown epicenter is the most interesting place in town to visit but West Chester is also not too far from parks and museums that provide families and people with entertainment all year long. |
