Welcome to Jenkintown


History

As one of the oldest boroughs in Montgomery County, Jenkintown enjoys a rich history. After taking approximately 248 acres from Abington Township in 1874, Jenkintown established itself as an independent community nestled along what is now the Route 611 corridor, just minutes from Philadelphia. Named for William Jenkins, a settler, Jenkintown borough now encompasses .58 acres and is home to 4500 residents.  The neighborhoods of Rydal, Noble, and Jenkintown Manor are often colloquially referred to as Jenkintown, but they are technically located in Abington Township.

What Makes Jenkintown Unique?


-Jenkintown residents are engaged in their community! The Hiway Theater is just one example: this non-profit, independent movie theater specializing in foreign films is celebrating its 100th birthday this year! www.hiwaytheater.net


-Jenkintown School District is one of the smallest school districts in the area, with an average class size of only 18, and graduating classes of approximately 50 students.
Watch this short video about Jenkintown with Rena Shaffer


-A pedestrian-friendly town, Jenkintown has a great walkable downtown area with plenty of eateries, salons, and shops. Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods, a farmer’s market, and a plethora of vegan and vegetarian-friendly options are available as well.



Real Estate


The borough of Jenkintown is separated into East and West by Old York Rd (Rt. 611). On the Eastern side of Old York Rd, homes tend to be larger than the Borough average and historic estate-like homes are abundant. The Western side of Old York Rd offers a traditional mix of more affordable multi-family homes and apartment buildings. Home prices throughout the borough vary considerably, but single-family homes tend to range from $250k-500k, and condos around $100k are popular as well.
