About
Wynnewood takes its name from Dr. Thomas Wynne, William Penn’s physician, whose land was designated in 1691 — making it one of the earliest-named communities on what became the Philadelphia Main Line. The SEPTA Paoli/Thorndale line stop at Wynnewood Station, a structure built in the 1870s and designed by Wilson Brothers and Company for the Pennsylvania Railroad, anchors the community’s rail identity at milepost 7.5 from Center City. The housing stock reflects three distinct eras: early 20th-century stone colonials and Dutch Colonials developed by builders such as McIlvain and Company from the 1890s through the 1920s; the English Village Historic District, a 29-home Tudor Revival cluster on a five-acre tract built between 1925 and 1928 by developers Donald and S. Arthur Love and designated a Class 1 Historic Resource by Lower Merion Township in 2010; and a post-WWII residential expansion in which approximately 360 single-family homes were constructed on the former 160-acre Shortridge Tract between 1945 and the early 1950s.

What Makes This Distinct
More than 60 percent of Wynnewood’s approximately 4,282 housing units date from the 1940s through the 1960s post-war construction period, while a pre-war stock of stone and Tudor-style homes built before 1939 accounts for nearly one-fifth of units — a dual-era distribution that produces wide price dispersion across the market and makes condition and renovation status a primary valuation driver.
