    "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."
  • engelman s.
    "Lehigh Circle in Swarthmore is an idyllic setting for retiring and/or raising a family. There is a beautiful neighborhood park and the neighbors are top notch. Lehigh Circle is in Swarthmore but you don't pay the high Swarthmore taxes! The best of both worlds, I say!"
  • N
    "This area is perfect for any family. Great neighborhood, easy walking distance to several different schools."
