Midtown Brandywine Survey 2025

👋Hi Neighbors

A quick message about why we're doing this

(Please note, you can use your scroll bar to see the rest of this message)

We’re glad you’re here. This survey is one of the most helpful things you can do for our neighborhood right now.

It takes about 15 minutes to complete, and your answers will help us understand what people love about living here, what could be better, and how we can build a stronger sense of community. You don’t have to finish it all at once. You can save your progress and come back to it later if needed.

Whether you’ve lived here your whole life or just moved in, we want to hear from you. Every voice matters. The more people we hear from, the better we can reflect what our neighborhood truly is and what it could become.

You can stay anonymous if you’d like. Any personal info like name, street, or demographics is completely optional and will stay private.

Every person is unique, even within households. We'd like it if each person filled this out individually to get as many perspectives as possible.

Thank you for being part of this! Your time and honesty will help us create a more welcoming, connected, and inclusive place to live.

—The Midtown Brandywine Neighbors Association
