Ardmore Pennsylvania: A Brimming Town of Opportunity 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 28, 2018) I experienced an excellent stay while living in Ardmore Pennsylvania. The city is located amid both Delaware and Montgomery Counties. Ardmore is situated west of Philadelphia. The town has an overflowing employment market. Housing is ample with ongoing community development. The ...Read More cost of living is high in Ardmore, but crime and weather, and the amenities make up for it. The school system is above standard, the town has celebrated graduates such as Kobe Bryant, the all-star NBA basketball player, and General Henry H. “Hap” Arnold, the Commanding General of the US Army Air Forces in WWII.

Some of the best areas in Ardmore Pennsylvania surround South Ardmore Avenue. This area offers parks for recreational fun, fine dining, and shopping centers.
