Media is great. Next town over from Media is Broomall (my parents live their now). Both are great suburbs. Virtually crime free, MUCH less expensive than the city, decent restaurants, but not much night life.
Broomall is only about 13 miles from the airport if I remember correctly, and its all highway.
Springfield is cool too. Just like Broomall and Media. Thinking about it, the suburbs is really the way to go.
