Tucked away between Wyndmoor and Wissahickon Valley Park, Chestnut Hill’s upscale community and proximity to local and private schools are appealing for families. Its history is pretty neat – the area was a popular summer destination during the American Revolutionary War era because of its higher elevation and cooler weather.
Along Germantown Avenue – the neighborhood’s business district – is where you’ll discover spas, accessory stores, artisan shops, and bakeries. It’s a charming little section of town, enhanced by cobblestone streets, Colonial-style storefronts, and lush gardens. Locals enjoy a pint and meal at Campbell’s Place, followed by a scoop of their favorite flavor at Bredenbeck’s Ice Cream Parlor.
There’s plenty of green space surrounding Chestnut Hill – go for a hike on the twisting trails at Wissahickon Valley Park or see the historic landmarks at Morris Arboretum.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
