"Swarthmore is a throwback to a different era. There is a strong sense of community. A swim club, coop market, and a community library plus a small business district add to the color. The schools are very good. Plenty of green space."

"For being such a tiny town, Swarthmore does an excellent job of engaging the community with events all summer long. The only downsides are the lack of a local pub and the extreme taxes. "

"I live in this neighborhood and find it a uniquely cozy, rural neighborhood surrounding Swarthmore College with many historic homes, woods, trees, flowers, birds of many species, deer, rabbits, squirrels, and fox. Swarthmore College tennis courts are to our house's immediate right and the soccer and rugby playing fields across the street stretch out beyond to the late nineteenth century train station (R3 Swarthmore stop). There is a quaint town with local businesses, restaurants, food co-op, and local library all run by local people."
- Lee S.

"What I like -- Living on a quiet street with a mix of ages (young families to retirees). Living in a town where kids can be independent, ride bikes to friends' houses, and to stores, to the library, to athletic fields, etc. Kids aren't dependent on being driven everywhere. Schools are great! Co-op grocery, library, stores, restaurants, athletic fields, theater (Swarthmore Players Club), police and fire stations, borough hall and Swarthmore College are all within 1/2 mile walking distance. Convenient to Philadelphia and Wilmington, DE (20 minute commuter train or 20 to 30 minutes by car). More facts "
