Classical architecture, rail history and college charm define Rosemont
Surrounded by prestigious colleges, leafy green trees and classical architecture, Rosemont is one of the many unforgettable communities on Philadelphia’s Main Line, the historic suburban rail corridor renowned for its magnificent homes and charming village-like town centers.
Hugged between Interstate 476 and Lancaster Avenue, the main highway paralleling the SEPTA Paoli/Thorndale train line, Rosemont marks where the main trunk of the train route ended before contemporary in-fill development expanded the city’s suburbs farther west through the mid-to late-20th century. When you get off at the Rosedale train station between Villanova and Bryn Mawr, you’ll walk down a small hill and find a park surrounded by a low-slung stone wall and a small mixed-commercial center with an apartment building, a performing arts center, a locally owned pharmacy, an organic grocery store and a mix of restaurants and shops along the busy Lancaster Avenue corridor.
Lancaster Avenue links Rosemont to Philadelphia along the historic Main Line.
There's plenty of shopping available in Rosemont.

Victorian-era homes share space with townhouses and apartments
South of Lancaster Avenue, the community becomes much more residential, with spectacular Colonial Revival and Victorian-era homes with brick and stone exteriors set on curvilinear streets and spacious lots surrounded by trees, giving residents space and privacy. For these fabulous homes, expect to offer somewhere between $750,000 and $3 million. If that’s outside your price range, contemporary townhouse and apartment condo units have sold for between $1500,000 and $500,000. At similar price points below $800,000, prospective homebuyers can also find smaller single-family homes, including split levels and ranch-style properties with less than 2,000 square feet on more densely crowded suburban streets, trading off additional bedrooms and extra space for more widely affordable prices.
