Wayne, PA
Wayne sits roughly at the center of Radnor Township along the Main Line, and its downtown business district, built directly around the SEPTA Regional Rail station, has developed into one of the more walkable and restaurant-dense commercial centers anywhere along the historic railroad corridor. The community takes its name from Revolutionary War general "Mad" Anthony Wayne, a Pennsylvania native whose military service under George Washington made him one of the more celebrated Continental Army commanders, and the broader area retains numerous place names and historical markers connected to the Revolutionary War era. Wayne's combination of a genuinely walkable Main Line downtown and a mix of both historic and newer residential construction has made it one of the more architecturally varied communities along the corridor, distinct from Main Line towns whose character leans more heavily toward a single dominant building era. Served by SEPTA's Paoli/Thorndale Regional Rail Line with a roughly 30 to 35 minute ride into Center City Philadelphia, Wayne's walkable downtown core and strong local school reputation through the Radnor Township School District have made it one of the more consistently recommended entry points onto the Main Line for families relocating from the city.
VS
Villanova, PA
Villanova is home to Villanova University, an Augustinian Catholic institution founded in 1842 that's built one of the most recognized college basketball programs in the country, winning NCAA men's national championships in 1985, 2016, and 2018 — a run of championship success that's given the small Main Line community a level of national sports visibility disproportionate to its modest year-round population. The university's campus, centered around Lancaster Avenue, occupies a substantial portion of the community's developed land, giving Villanova a genuine college-town character layered on top of the broader Main Line's identity as a corridor of affluent Philadelphia commuter suburbs. Like its Main Line neighbors, Villanova developed directly along the Pennsylvania Railroad's original commuter line west from Philadelphia, and the SEPTA Regional Rail station that still serves the community today sits within easy walking distance of the university's main campus buildings. Villanova's combination of a nationally championship-winning basketball program, a substantial university campus footprint within an otherwise residential Main Line community, and continued direct commuter rail access into Philadelphia has made it one of the more nationally recognized names among the string of Main Line suburbs west of the city.
