Folcroft, PA

Located just south of Philadelphia in Delaware County, Folcroft offers a quiet, close-knit suburban setting with an easy commute into the city. Tucked between Darby and Muckinipattis creeks, this small community grew along the rail lines in the late 19th century and has kept a manageable, compact footprint ever since. Getting around the region is straightforward thanks to local SEPTA Regional Rail service, Chester Pike, and quick access to Philadelphia International Airport and neighboring towns like Sharon Hill and Norwood.
