Villanova, PA

Villanova is a Philadelphia suburb that straddles Lower Merion Township in Montgomery County and Radnor Township in Delaware County.

The area also includes historic sites such as the Bridge in Radnor Township No. 2 and Camp-Woods, along with places like Appleford/Parsons-Banks Arboretum. Villanova is affluent, collegiate, and closely tied to the Main Line's mix of estates, campuses, and commuter suburbs.
