Nearby neighborhoods: Wynnewood, Narberth, Haverford, Havertown, Bryn Mawr, Bala Cynwd
Counties: Montogmery County and Delaware County
Known for: Being the largest town on the Main Line. It has a bustling downtown that boasts local and chain retail and restaurants.

Being a 150-year-old town located just outside of Philadelphia means charm, beautiful homes, and the signature of Pennsylvania, multi-county confusion. One area of Ardmore is located in Lower Merion Township (Montgomery County) and the other in Haverford Township (Delaware County.) This affects both taxes and school districts, however the green spaces and downtown bring residents from both counties together. There are many commuting options with train stations sitting in both counties. Both SEPTA (Paoli/Thorndale and Norristown lines) and Amtrack support people coming and going.

Ardmore has a bustling downtown area that runs along Lancaster Ave, Cricket Ave, and Rittenhouse Place. The western end is home to local retail shops and restaurants. The Ardmore Music Hall holds center court, featuring music acts and performances from around the world. The eastern area of downtown features Suburban Square, which hosts an assortment of national chain stores. Across the way, the indoor Ardmore Farmers Market and Trader Joe’s are popular daily stops for residents.

Local businesses and residents explore the Destination Ardmore site hosted by the Ardmore Initiative to find local news. You’ll find updates on town festivals such as the Ardmore Outdoor Beer Fest, First Thursdays in Ardmore, and upcoming seasonal gatherings. Due to the dividing county lines, your address depends on which civic organization you join. The Ardmore Progressive Civic Association, The Ardwood Association, North Ardmore Civic Association, and South Ardmore Betterment Alliance are where you can learn everything you need to know as a resident.

Beautiful Gingerbread Victorians from the early 1800s can still be found in Ardmore. With sweeping porches, arches, and beautiful details. You’ll also find new construction condominiums, twins from the early 1900s, and sweet classic free-standing homes that feature local Wissahickon stone.

Welcome to Narberth! A quaint town on the Main Line that is often praised for its walkability. We love it for its year round festivals, insanely delicious french pastries (more on that below), and its central location to many other hot spots on the Main Line.

At Home With...Shana and Scott

With a central location that is walkable in all directions, it is no wonder that Shana and Scott found a little slice of paradise among the streets of Rittenhouse. They invited us inside their home that was built in the 1800s, just in time for the magnolia tree to be in full bloom!

Ruth: Dream Location

I've always believed that one's home should rise to greet them when you walk through the door. It should be a place of peace, a sanctuary, a getaway, a secret lover of sorts.

Kayla & Jeff: Outdoor Adventurers

Per Kayla in her easy British accent chock full of slang, “We love our block cos it's the sweet spot! Easy parking with no neighbors opposite. Effortless dog walking at the track. Adelaide learned to scoot there too.”
