Welcome to Mt Airy: Rich in History, Charm, and Independence
Mt. Airy is a neighborhood rich in history and vibrant with modern charm. Its roots trace back to the early days of America when Chief Justice and financier William Allen built his country estate here in 1750, naming it “Mount Airy.” Over time, the name extended to the surrounding community, which was originally part of Germantown Township—founded in 1683 by German immigrant Francis Daniel Pastorius, who purchased 15,000 acres from William Penn.
More than just a place to live, Mt. Airy is a community where neighbors come together to create a welcoming and inclusive environment. Residents take pride in supporting the area’s local businesses, most of which are independently owned, adding to the neighborhood’s unique character. Its location is another major draw—just a short train ride from downtown Philadelphia, Mt. Airy offers the perfect balance of suburban charm and city convenience.
Beyond its sense of community, Mt. Airy’s beauty is undeniable. Tree-lined streets, historic homes, and lush green spaces give the neighborhood a peaceful, almost secluded feel, while nearby Wissahickon Valley Park provides endless opportunities for outdoor exploration. Whether you’re looking for a tight-knit community, a home with historic charm, or easy access to urban amenities, Mt. Airy is an ideal place to call home.
