It’s a lot of things to a lot of people, but one thing hasn’t changed much over the years: It’s hard to beat a Lower Merion education.

Touted as a top 25 school in the nation, Lower Merion School District brings everyone together — from a collection of communities that includes “Bala Cynwyd, Wynnewood, Ardmore, Bryn Mawr, Rosemont, Villanova, Gladwyne, Pencoyd, Belmont Hills, Penn Wynne, Roseglen, Overbrook Hills, Penn Valley and Merion,” according to a Philly.com report by Alan J. Heavens.

“It does have a lot of working parts,” Duffy Real Estate Owner John Duffy said in the article. “And parts of those parts are not necessarily in Lower Merion.”

Home prices are just as diverse, ranging from $100,000 to many million, with the average selling for $615,000. And from those homes, Lower Merion residents are driving both into the city and farther out for work.
