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.”
