Lansdale, PA

Lansdale is a Montgomery County borough north of Philadelphia, with roots in early settlement by the Jenkins family and later growth around the railroad. It has a real downtown, regional rail access, local shops, and community events such as Bike Night that bring people into the center of town. Lansdale is suburban, but it has more borough texture than many surrounding communities: older homes, compact blocks, a train station, and enough local traditions to feel self-contained.
