All About

Living in Bala Cynwyd, PA

Once formed as two separate towns, the Philadelphia-area borough of Bala Cynwyd came together as a single community many years ago. In that same spirit, Bala Cynwyd apartment residents today come together to celebrate their community in a number of different fashions.

The Neighborhood Club of Bala Cynwyd has been active since 1906, and has worked to foster a sense of unity among the town's residents. The group sponsors an annual Independence Day celebration, which brings out Bala Cynwyd apartment renters and their families for a yearly parade. The route traditionally starts in front the Union Firehouse and finishes on the Bala Cynwyd Playground, and the children of local apartment residents are featured prominently in the parade, riding decorated bicycles alongside costumed marchers and police and fire officials.

Additionally, the borough's renowned business district gives Bala Cynwyd apartment residents the opportunity to shop and dine among historic sites. The town's original center was developed in the early settlement days after William Penn - the founder of Philadelphia - who landed on American shores from England in 1682. Today, the district is Bala Cynwyd's bustling shopping center, offering apartment residents with a number of local and national shopping outlets to enjoy.

Bala Cynwyd apartment renters can also visit one of the borough's famous sites to pay their respects to notable figures in American history at the West Laurel Hill Cemetery - located on the National Register of Historic Places.
