About Upper Darby
Just 20 minutes from the Philadelphia business district, Upper Darby is an easy 6 miles from the heart of the state’s largest city. With a population of over 81,000 residents, it is also one of the largest residential neighborhoods serving the city. The area was first settled in 1653 by a group of Swedish settlers, although the area is now quite diversified with dozens of nationalities represented. In 2007, the area began a Market Street revitalization to increase the friendliness and attraction of the major commercial area in town. Residents of an Upper Darby house or apartment for rent can also enjoy extensive shopping and other services outside of Market Street as Upper Darby has an extensive list of other shopping complexes, including 69th St. Shopping Center, Bond Shopping Center, Drug Emporium Plaza, Drexeline Shopping Center, Barclay Square Shopping Center, Loehmanns Plaza, and Township Line Shopping Center. Home Depot and a few other big-box retailers can also be found in town. Residents of an apartment or home rental in Upper Darby look forward to annual events such as the Memorial Day Parade, July 4th Fireworks and Concerts, and Holiday Celebration. The Upper Darby School District operates 12 elementary schools, 2 middle schools, and the largest high school in Pennsylvania. Seven parochial schools also serve students in town. Conveniently located on the edge of the highly-urbanized downtown area, Upper Darby’s residents can easily walk or take a bus to work in the city, rather than paying for expensive city parking. Despite its closeness to the big buildings of central Philly, Upper Darby is protected in cove-like fashion by a variety of parks, namely Cobbs Creek Park, Naylors Run Park, Cobbs Creek-Karakung Golf Course, and McCall Golf & Country Club.
