Narberth Among The Most Walkable Suburbs: Philly Magazine

NARBERTH, PA — Driving in and around Philadelphia can be a rage-inducing act.

From double parkers to lookieloos, texters to tailgaters, long traffic lights to speeders, hitting the road comes with its fair share of annoyances.

Which is why many people travel on foot.

With that in mind, Philadelphia Magazine released its list of "The Most Walkable Philadelphia Suburbs and Neighborhoods."

And Narberth was among the top walkable suburbs.

The magazine looked at various suburbs and neighborhoods to determine a "walk score" for each.

According to the magazine, walk scores measure the walkability of any address and awards points based on the distance to amenities like grocery stores, schools, parks, restaurants and shops.

Narberth earned a score of 90 out of a possible 100.

Here is what makes Narberth great, according to the magazine:

If you want your walkable suburb to feel like a small town from days gone by, Narberth is exactly where you want to be. Things don’t change rapidly here. Many of the shops in the compact business district have served the town for decades, including such stalwarts as the American Family Super Market and the Cheese Company gourmet emporium. Restaurants like the Great American Pub and The Greeks are community favorites, and the town’s vintage movie theater has been entertaining cinephiles since 1927.

Other nearby suburbs that were on the list include Bryn Mawr, Narberth, and Ardmore.
