Radnor’s Fifth Ward constitutes a thin slice across the entire width of the Township at the southern extremis. We are the Border Ward or perhaps Southern Radnor, whichever you like. Essentially the Ward is the Bryn Mawr Avenue corridor. The border of the Ward is not a straight line nor is it defined by any one street or avenue. From Newtown Square to Hunt Road the Ward encompasses the homes south of Bryn Mawr. From Hunt to Darby Paoli we include the houses on the North Side of Bryn Mawr. At Darby Paoli the Ward expands to include the homes up to the south side of Roberts then contracts again at Sproul, returning to Bryn Mawr until you hit Ithan Avenue at which point we slip back over to Roberts. You now encounter a fairly long portion of ward boundary, all the way east almost to Conestoga Road where we cross Roberts to include Roberts Hill Condos, Radcliffe House and cross over to Montrose (south side only) to County Line. So, if you can visualize this line, the Ward includes everything from there South to the border.
The Ward includes a broad spectrum of housing, from estates to row homes and everything in between. We have a small business section on our border with Lower Merion. Here too you will find a broad variety.
As you can see, the Ward really doesn’t have a focus or center, there is no community of interest or identity. If you do not have children participating in the youth programs or attending Radnor Schools it is very likely you do not ever think of Rador but rather identify with your post office, Bryn Mawr, Broomall or Newtown Square..
