About
Wallingford
Wallingford, located between Media and Swarthmore, is a residential and commuter-friendly Chester neighborhood with leafy streets and a rail-linked rhythm. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Wallingford Station area along Possum Hollow Road, where small storefronts, coffee counters, and everyday services set a steady, local pace. Stone-and-brick Colonials and mid-century splits mix with mature trees and deep setbacks. The Wallingford Community Arts Center anchors a creative calendar in a historic setting. Hedgerow Theatre adds a long-running stage tradition nearby. Crum Creek and the Springhaven Club shape the landscape with green edges and recreation.
