Chester Heights is home to Wawa's corporate headquarters, though the rest of the borough is almost entirely residential. Without a traditional commercial downtown, locals head into neighboring Media, Glen Mills, or Concordville for groceries, dining, and shopping. Families often move here for the top-rated Garnet Valley School District, and commuters benefit from quick access to Route 1 and Baltimore Pike for easy trips to Philadelphia, Wilmington, and nearby train stations.
