Ardmore is a picture-perfect town located just 17 minutes northwest from Philadelphia's core. It has earned itself the moniker of “the Main Street of the Main Line”, due to the fact that it is home to the region’s most-occupied enterprise district. This is one of many features that make Ardmore, PA real estate listings so sought after.
Just one stroll through Ardmore’s town center will surprise you. Despite the community’s humble population of just over 13,000 residents, it has become quite the economic hub.

Those interested in Ardmore properties are often intrigued by the town’s deeply-ingrained roots. The community’s origins date back to 1853 when Richard Davis purchased a parcel of land from a group of Welsh Quakers. He wanted to establish his own village and dubbed it “Athensville”— a reflection of the Greek revival movement that was taking place at the time. The town wouldn’t be renamed Ardmore until 1873 when the Pennsylvania Railroad constructed a station in the area and decided on the new title after receiving the suggestion from Reverend George Anderson, pastor of the Lower Merion Baptist Church.
Just like the vast majority of other towns along the Main Line, Ardmore experienced an economic surge after the railroad station was finalized. German and Irish settlers moved to the area to establish businesses of their own and soon an official local government was formed.
