Elkins Park, Residential community in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania
Elkins Park encompasses 1.74 square miles of land between Cheltenham and Abington Townships, situated 7 miles from Philadelphia's Center City.
The area gained prominence in the early 20th century when Philadelphia business leaders, including John B. Stetson and William Lukens Elkins, established residences there.
The community features six synagogues and maintains strong connections to the Jewish community of the Cheltenham-Jenkintown-Abington region, which includes 25,000 people.
Residents access Philadelphia through the Elkins Park station, which connects to SEPTA Regional Rail trains on the Glenside Line and West Trenton Line.
Lynnewood Hall, a 110-room mansion from the Gilded Age, stands as an example of the grand estates that characterized this Philadelphia suburban area.
