Located about 12 miles northwest of Center City Philadelphia, Villanova is best known for being home to Villanova University. The community is also convenient to several other colleges and universities, including Rosemont College, Bryn Mawr College, Eastern University, and Cabrini University.
Villanova is also known for its lush natural beauty, which provides ample opportunities to enjoy outdoor recreation as well as the scenic environment. Skunk Hollow Park, Chanticleer, Stoneleigh, Overbrook Golf Club, and the Philadelphia Country Club are among the many outdoor venues popular with the Villanova community.
Villanova offers a broad range of apartments, townhomes, and houses available for rent along peaceful, tree-dense avenues. Although Villanova is largely residential, the community relishes convenience to numerous suburban amenities stretched along Lincoln Highway, the main commercial thoroughfare. Quick access to I-476 and SEPTA’s Paoli/Thorndale Line makes getting around from Villanova easy.
