Charming downtown community outside Center City

Conshohocken, lovingly referred to by locals as “Conshy,” is a vibrant community with a downtown restaurant scene and some of the best schools in Montgomery County. While Center City is only 15 miles down the road, “Conshohocken has its own little downtown with dozens of popular bars and restaurants within walking distance,” says Sharyn Soliman, an expert local Realtor at Keller Williams Real Estate. While some residents take the train to Center City for work, Soliman says, “The [community] has become a popular place for young professionals to live with the large corporate businesses being built along the Schuylkill River.”

Conshy offers a walkable downtown district

Friday nights in Conshy are always a good time. Soliman says the community “offers great restaurants, bars and an exciting nightlife for all the young professionals that live in Conshohocken.” After a long work week, The Great American Pub on Fayette Street is the perfect spot to catch up with friends over a cold beer and half-priced appetizers. Saturday game days are spent down the street at Flanigan’s Boathouse and celebrated afterward with a cocktail at the Gypsy Saloon. On Sunday mornings, locals can order a delicious omelet from Nudy’s Café, a Conshy staple since 1979. While the White Marsh Shopping Center offers conventional groceries at the Giant Food Store, most locals stop by Lee’s Produce Market on the way back into town for homegrown fruits and vegetables.

The Spring Mill Trail Head connects to Center City

Families walk to the baseball fields at Sutcliffe Park to watch their kids play for the local Little League. Parents can grill out under the pavilions during the games and watch their other little ones climb on the park’s recently renovated playground. Down the road, Aubrey Collins Memorial Park has basketball courts and a brand-new turf playground, complete a zipline. The Spring Mill Trail Head, located just off Conshohocken Road, follows along the Schuylkill River straight into the busy streets of Center City. Locals head to the Plymouth Meeting Mall on rainy days to watch the newest blockbuster or play arcade games at Dave & Buster’s.
