Swarthmore, Pennsylvania - A College Town

A house in Swarthmore, PASwarthmore, Pennsylvania is a college town located in Delaware County which is just southwest of Philadelphia. Swarthmore College is the school that gives this borough it's flavor and adds to its beauty. Single Victorian homes abound in this town along with local amenities such as a food co-op, a library with ongoing events engaging the community, a local theater that has put on the Nutcracker every Christmas season for years, to a recycling center that is open everyday to help community members do their part to have a low impact on filling the local landfills.

SEPTA's R3 train has a stop in town within walking distance to Swarthmore College's campus and is the means of transportation for many residents who work in Center City Philadelphia. Just off of the train station are a few of the downtown streets lined with stores such as a local hardware store that offers the feel of years gone by, a music shop that offers music lessons, an earthy clothier that supports artisans, a few places to eat and a knitting store.

Swarthmore, PennsylvaniaThe streets are lined with trees and many are named after colleges and universities like Yale, Princeton, Cornell, and Vassar. Many of the houses in Swarthmore are a work of art. There was no waste of craftsmanship on some of these gorgeous structures.

Swarthmore College brings people in from all over the country and the world which adds to the flavor of Swarthmore and helps to keep it vibrant. One can partake in events offered at the college through out the year as well as stroll it's ground. The Scott Arboretum is located on the college campus and offers a wonderful display of plant life through out the growing season, with wonderful colors in the spring to the wonderful colors of autumn. And if you are into starry nights, the campus has an observatory with times open to the public.

For 23 years Swarthmore has been a "Tree City USA" member and is now the first city on the east coast to be an "EPA Green Power Community".

If you are looking for a place to live that embraces the cultural life that a college town can offer and love older Victorian homes, Swarthmore, Pennsylvania may be exactly what you are looking for.

Swarthmore, Pennsylvania is an EPA Green Power Community

Swarthmore, Pennsylvania - Green Power CommunitySwarthmore, Pennsylvania has been an EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) Green Power Community since October 2007.  According to the map on the EPA's website, Swarthmore is the only community on the entire eastern seaboard to make this claim.

What Swarthmore and 25 other communities in Unites States have done, is partner up with the EPA and purchase "green power in amounts that meet or exceed EPA's Green Power Community purchase requirements". This voluntary partnership with the EPA is a way for communities and organizations to help reduce the impact of electrical consumption on the environment. 

Even though Swarthmore is the only community east of the Mississippi, as of October 2009, to be in this partnership with the EPA, there are many organizations and businesses in Pennyslvania and other eastern states that are partners. 

Congratulations Swarthmore for leading the way in this Eco-friendly trend!
