Narberth

Narberth is unique to this area, as it’s an enclave surrounded by Lower Merion Township, close to the western edge of the city of Philadelphia. Narberth is unique among those locations in that it is fairly enclosed; no major thoroughfares run through the town, but Montgomery Avenue runs northwest/southeast along the borough's northern border.

Because of its small size, many of Narberth's shopping and recreational facilities within walking distance of residents' houses. The borough is bordered by the towns of Wynnewood, Pennsylvania, Merion, and Penn Valley, Pennsylvania. Narberth's business district has a variety of small, generally independent businesses. Some have been there for decades, including the American Family Market, The Cheese Company and Real Pizza.[10] In recent years, many new businesses have opened, including Sweet Mabel Store and Studio, the Narberth Bookshop, Le Petit Mitron (a French bakery), and Village Treats. Narberth also has an independent movie theater located in its downtown. Many borough businesses belong to the Narberth Business Association, which promotes the town as a shopping destination and also puts on occasional events, including the Spring Sidewalk Sale and the Narberth Dickens Festival.
