About Paoli

Paoli is a community in Tredyffrin and Willistown townships in Chester County, centered on Lancaster Avenue and the Paoli train station.

The station is served by both SEPTA regional rail and Amtrak, and Paoli Hospital is on Lancaster Avenue.

Housing

Single-family homes from many eras, townhome and condominium communities, and apartments near the station and Lancaster Avenue.

A rail hub on the western Main Line

Paoli is one of the few Main Line stations with both SEPTA and Amtrak service, which makes it a common choice for people commuting to Center City, 30th Street or west toward Harrisburg. Apartments, townhomes and condominiums cluster near the station and Lancaster Avenue.

What to check before buying

Paoli straddles two townships and two school districts.

  • Township and public school district for the parcel: Tredyffrin/Easttown or Great Valley.
  • For condominiums and townhomes, association fees, reserves and rental rules.
  • Rail and road noise near the station and U.S. 30.

Rental and investment notes

Station access and the hospital support rental demand for apartments and townhomes. Check association rental restrictions before buying a condominium or townhome to rent out.
