To make a quick getaway you’ll find I-76 10 mins to the west and easy access to Routes 30 and 1 which will take you to Delco and Montgomery Counties.
Young residents of Narberth get to enjoy some of the finest schools in the nation. Sitting in Lower Merion County means taking advantage of a top-notch public school education, or attending one of the prestigious private schools in the area.
Narberth’s business district runs along a few streets that include Haverford, Forrest, Narberth, and Essex Avenues. Shops are clustered together, evoking that small-town neighborhood vibe. Essentials such as dry cleaning, a neighborhood grocery market, medical offices, and the ever-necessary PA Fine Spirits and Wine can be found in the center of town.
The NBA (Narberth Business Association) hosts a number of festivals. One of the most well-known is the Narberth Dickens Festival. Monthly meetings for the Narberth Civic Association “The Civic” are held at Narberth Borough Hall just off the main drag. They also host neighborly events such as the NarBirthday which is a winter pot-luck social where people can meet and hear from Borough leaders.
Being such a small borough homes for sale are few and far between. If living in a magical place with lots of neighbors who participate in community events appeals to you, be sure to have your agent keep you informed of what’s upcoming in this area.
