Gogo's take on Forsythia Gate

“Go. Forsythia Gate is a peaceful, established suburban Levittown neighborhood in Middletown Township with low violent crime rates and quiet residential streets. Visitors will find a safe environment typical of Bucks County's family-oriented suburbs, though there is little commercial activity directly within the subdivision itself.”
