About Darby
Darby is a small, walkable borough in Delaware County, sitting just six miles southwest of Center City Philadelphia. It is a dense, established community made up mostly of classic brick row houses tucked between Darby and Cobbs creeks. For anyone commuting into the city or traveling often, the location is especially convenient, offering quick transit access and a short drive to Philadelphia International Airport.
The borough also has deep local roots dating back to the late 1600s. Along Main Street, you will find historic landmarks like the Darby Free Library, which has been in continuous operation since 1743, as well as Quaker meetinghouses from the area's earliest days. Local students attend schools in the William Penn School District, and regular SEPTA trolley and bus routes make it easy to reach neighboring spots like Lansdowne, Upper Darby, and downtown Philly.
