Welcome to Whitemarsh

 
A quiet and private community just outside Philadelphia.
 
Whitemarsh is a quiet community offering a private location close to the city. Officially known by its full title of Whitemarsh Township, the community directly borders the neighborhood of Andorra in the Roxborough area of Northwestern Philadelphia. The first European colonists settled in Whitemarsh in the 1680s, and the community features numerous historic sites and districts. Whitemarsh Township encompasses the smaller unincorporated communities of Barren Hill, Lafayette Hill, and Spring Mill. Parts of Fort Washington, Miquon, and Plymouth Meeting also fall within Whitemarsh’s boundaries.
 
Housing options in Whitemarsh include large and beautiful homes surrounded by rolling countryside. These gorgeous multi-million dollar properties include acreage estates and charming brick farmhouses. Whitemarsh also features relaxed neighborhoods with renovated Colonial homes dating back to the 19th and early 20th centuries.
 

People & Lifestyle

 
Whitemarsh is an idyllic Montgomery County destination with convenient access to all Philadelphia’s urban amenities. I-276 and Pennsylvania Route 309 both run through Whitemarsh. Commuters also enjoy access to the Fort Washington SEPTA station at Whitemarsh’s eastern edge and the Miquon and Spring Mill SEPTA stations to the west. While Philadelphia is on Whitemarsh’s doorstep, this bucolic community feels a world away from the city.
