Penn Wynne is a section of Wynnewood in Montgomery County, and has the fifth-best public elementary school in the area and overall well-rated schools with an A+ rating, according to Niche. For green space, there’s Penn Wynne Park, Wynnewood Valley Park, and Morris Park.

For shopping and dining, you can head to City Avenue Shopping Center, where you’ll find big-box stores like T.J. Maxx, Ross, and Aldi plus restaurants like Blue Bay, Shalom Pizzeria,  Wingstop, and nearby Ferrante’s. It’s also just 20 minutes away from Philadelphia and two hours from New York City.
