Bryn Mawr Among The Most Walkable Suburbs: Philly Magazine

BRYN MAWR, 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 Bryn Mawr 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.

Bryn Mawr earned a score of 86 out of a possible 100.

Here is what makes Bryn Mawr great, according to the magazine:

Known for its famed women’s college, Bryn Mawr shows off its scholarly side with a library at its central intersection. Behind the Ludington Library, the Bryn Mawr Twilight Concerts series offers music at an old-fashioned gazebo in the summer, and the Bryn Mawr Film Institute hosts a wide range of films and film education programs. Surrounding these community anchors are a wealth of boutiques, art galleries, unique shops and restaurants. Bryn Mawr Hospital, one of the Main Line’s biggest and best, lies just south of the town center.

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