Homes for Sale & Local Guide

Bala Cynwyd, a spectacular enclave of Philadelphia’s Main Line, is nestled in the heart of Lower Merion Township. It directly borders Philadelphia, and has since Welsh Quakers settled the area in the 1680s.
The community’s sycamore-lined streets contain some of the region’s oldest stone mansions. The commercial district, on the National Register of Historic Places, straddles the bridge over what was once Columbia Railroad’s old Pennsylvania tracks. It’s now SEPTA’s Cynwyd line, running commuters seven days a week in and out of the city.
