About Rosemont
Rosemont is a community that spans Lower Merion Township in Montgomery County and Radnor Township in Delaware County, between Bryn Mawr and Villanova.
Rosemont College is here, and the Rosemont train station is on the Paoli/Thorndale Line. Garrett Hill, a neighborhood of smaller homes and twins, adjoins it in Radnor Township.
Housing
Stone and stucco single homes on wooded streets, Victorian and early-20th-century houses, and twins and smaller homes toward Garrett Hill.
What to check before buying
Rosemont is small but split between two townships and counties.
- Township, county and public school district for the parcel.
- Rental and occupancy rules if you are buying near the colleges to rent.
- For older houses, the condition of stone foundations, roofs and drainage.
Rental and investment notes
Rosemont is close to Rosemont College, Villanova University and Bryn Mawr College, which shapes rental demand. Radnor and Lower Merion each have rental licensing rules; check them before buying a rental.
