Rural meets suburban in Mantua

Mantua Township, sitting on an elevated bluff overlooking its namesake creek, features a charming blend of rural and suburban living within commuting distance of Philadelphia. Incorporated in 1853 and boasting a population of just over 15,000 people, this township offers residents top-rated schools, beautiful homes and laidback living. “Mantua has a small-town feel,” says Wynona Jones, librarian at Wenonah Free Public Library next to Mantua Township. “People tend to know each other, and you see people around all the time.”

What does a home cost in Mantua?

On a stroll through Mantua Township’s suburban-style neighborhoods, you’ll find wide, curving roads lined with tidy sidewalks. The predominant architectural styles you’ll find here are ranch- and traditional-style homes, typically perched on lots ranging from a quarter to a half-acre with neat landscaping and a mature tree or two. Most properties have paved driveways that lead to front-entrance garages, with plenty of overflow parking on the residential roads. In this area, you can get a three-bedroom ranch home for around $250,000 or a five-bedroom colonial for around $400,000.
