Garrett Hill is an unincorporated community in Radnor Township, Pennsylvania, United States, located approximately eight miles northwest of Philadelphia. The geographic area is located in the portion of the Bryn Mawr ZIP code that comprises Rosemont. The community is roughly bounded by Lancaster Avenue, Lewis Lane, Garrett Avenue and Lowrys Lane, with Conestoga Road acting as the central arterial Road. Although a predominantly working class community with blue collar roots, it is located on the Pennsylvania Railroad Main Line.
The community is served by its own stop, Garrett Hill station, on the Norristown High Speed Line, formerly the Philadelphia and Western Railway.
Garrett Hill is mainly a residential community, but also includes a small commercial area (near the intersection of Conestoga Road and Garrett Avenue) consisting of a few bars and other small businesses that serve the community and the student population of nearby Villanova University.[1]
One of Garrett Hill's traditions is an annual community Fourth of July parade, followed by a free picnic with live music and other entertainment in Clem Macrone Park.
Garrett Hill's housing stock consists largely of late 19th-century and early-to-mid 20th-century structures, including Victorian, single-family frame and brick duplex homes.
