Wynnewood traces its roots to 1691 when it was named for Dr. Thomas Wynne, a prominent Quaker physician who served as William Penn's personal doctor and became the first Speaker of the Pennsylvania General Assembly. This historic Philadelphia Main Line community spans just three square miles and offers a blend of tree-lined streets and distinctive stone homes. Rental options include boutique apartment communities and townhomes, with average one-bedroom apartments renting for $2,025 and two-bedrooms for $2,718, slightly higher than neighboring communities like Ardmore and Narberth.

The area features several shopping clusters including the Wynnewood Shopping Center, which opened in 1949 and houses retailers like Giant, DSW, and Old Navy. Residents enjoy convenient access to Philadelphia via the Paoli/Thorndale Line at the historic Wynnewood Station, built in the 1870s, or the Norristown High-Speed Line. The community is also easily accessible from Interstate Routes 76 and 476, making commuting efficient for residents.

Wynnewood is home to prestigious institutions like Lankenau Medical Center, one of the region's top community hospitals, and several educational establishments including Friends' Central School. The community offers peaceful green spaces such as Shortridge Memorial Park, featuring picturesque stone bridges spanning Indian Creek, and Wynnewood Valley Park's Sensory Garden.
