Trainer is a tight community near parks and routes to Philadelphia
Follow the railroad to Trainer and take advantage of all the amenities it has to offer. “It’s a close-knit community and there's a nice big park within walking distance,” says Carol Jones, a local Realtor who has been in the real estate business for over 20 years. “The location is great too. It’s really convenient to the main railroad and I-95 so you can easily get to Philly, D.C. and New York. You could walk to the state of Delaware actually, and there’s tax-free shopping over there so people tend to head that way to get their shopping done, myself included.”
The borough of Trainer is a small town in southeast Pennsylvania dating back to 1919.
You'll be conveniently located right next to I-95 if you decide to live in Trainer.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
