In the heart of Montgomery County, and only a short drive from downtown Philadelphia, lies the beautiful North Penn region—a semi-rural district that stands between the highly populated suburbs to the south and the farming areas further north and west. 

Lower and Upper Gwynedd are in the southeast corner of North Penn, closest to Philadelphia. These two townships together comprise the Gwynedd region, and encompass the four villages of Gwynedd, Gwynedd Valley, Penllyn, and Spring House. Residents of these green and pleasant townships enjoy a semi-rural lifestyle while still being close to all that the big city of Philadelphia has to offer in the way of work and play. 

Lower Gwynedd is a lovely wooded community of charming residential neighborhoods. Ample parks and the lovely 77-acre Penllyn Woods enhance the semi-rural feel of this community, and would-be residents have a gratifying amount of choice in homes to buy, from townhouses to single family dwellings. 

In recent years, several large companies have relocated to Lower Gwynedd, and commercial and office developments have sprung up, bringing job opportunities closer to home. 

Upper Gwynedd is a family orientated community, with pleasant parks, the excellent Nor-Gwyn Swimming facility, and the lovely Gwynedd Reserve. Upper Gwynedd is also fairly industrialized. Merck & Co, the area’s largest employer, have a 400-acre complex in the heart of the township, and they have recently started to build a facility in Lower Gwynedd as well. There are a range of neighborhoods to choose from in Upper Gwynedd and plenty of choice in homes.

The historic Normandy Farm Hotel and Conference Centeris a wonderful place to escape into old world charm. Great for the business traveler, or that romantic getaway, Normandy Farm is part of the Interior’s National Registry of Historic Places. The architecture is preserved while offering the modern conveniences of restaurant, golf courses, and conference or even facilities.
