Norristown is a suburban community that really is close to everything: Philadelphia is only about 45 minutes away by car, and SEPTA rail service is available from multiple stations around town. In addition to the convenient proximity to the big city, Valley Forge National Historic Park and King of Prussia Mall are practically right next door.
Closer to home, Main Street and Marshall Street are home to several locally-owned shops and restaurants in an attractive, walkable setting, with many historic buildings nearby as well. Attractions such as Elmwood Park Zoo and large parks like Norristown Farm give residents plenty of opportunities to enjoy time outdoors, right in their own backyard.
