Offering an eclectic mix of historic and modern, Bala Cynwyd is a unique place -- starting with its unusual name and moving to its historic attractions and including its famous former residents (like basketball star Kobe Bryant). Bala Cynwyd was settled by Welsh Quakers in 1682. Originally, the settlement was called Pencoyd. Eventually, it transformed into two towns -- Bala and Cynwyd -- both named after places in Wales. The historic district wraps along Bala Avenue and Montgomery Avenue, providing quaint shops and restaurants along tree-lined streets.
The Cynwyd Heritage Trail provides residents with a two-mile, multi-use trail ideal for walking, bicycling, and cross-country skiing. The Arboretum of the Barnes Foundation, which covers 12 acres, is another terrific destination. This park dates back to 1880 and features a pond, a stream, a formal rose garden, and a greenhouse.

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.
