North Wales Borough

Completely surrounded by Upper Gwynedd, North Wales squeezes roughly 3,400 residents into just 0.6 square mile of late-Victorian streets. Its historic core became the first North Penn Historic Preservation District in 2000, protecting ornate porches and twin homes. Commuters board the 1873 Reading Railroad station on SEPTA’s Lansdale/Doylestown Line for a 35-minute ride to Center City.
