WELCOME TO LOWER MERION TOWNSHIP


A bustling collection of suburbs on the edge of Philadelphia.
 
Lower Merion Township is a collection of smaller communities along the Main Line. It’s conveniently located and full of picturesque neighborhoods and bustling commercial districts. It’s the perfect place to live for those who want to be close to the city, but also want the upscale, neighborhood feel of being slightly removed from the urban center.
 
Lower Merion has a long, storied past. Like most of the Philadelphia area, it was founded by Quakers. It has the longest continuously used house of worship in the country, dating back to 1695. After a long rural past, the railroad created a boom of growth both residential and commercial, and Lower Merion Township grew into the upscale community that it is today.
 
Throughout its many neighborhoods, Lower Merion Township has an incredible variety of homes. There are charming single-family homes mixed with larger estates. Townhomes and condos pop up close to the commercial districts. There’s a rich history here, and homes reflect that for owners who want that charm and story to be part of their lives, though they’ve been meticulously updated for this century, marrying charm and comfort into one gorgeous package.
