City - Elkins Park

Elkins Park is an unincorporated community in Montgomery County, split between Cheltenham and Abington Townships about 12 miles northeast of Center City Philadelphia. Its identity is shaped by a legacy of early 20th-century prominence—once home to industrialists and civic titans whose estates left behind some of the region's most striking architecture, including Frank Lloyd Wright's Beth Sholom Congregation, a National Historic Landmark. Gratz College and Einstein Medical Center are nearby institutional anchors, giving the area a steady base of academic and healthcare activity. Two SEPTA regional rail stations connect residents to Center City in under 20 minutes, making the commute practical without requiring a car. The housing stock reflects the area's layered history, ranging from stately older single-family homes and twin houses to more modest rowhouses and low-rise apartment communities tucked among tree-lined streets.
