At
446 feet above sea level, Chestnut Hill with its clean air and cool breezes was
known in the 1790's as a good place to avoid yellow fever. By all accounts,
it still is. Today, designated as a National Historic District, the community
includes an extraordinary mix of impressive stone mansions, 19th century
farmhouses, and more modest rowhomes. Charming shops and a multitude of
cultural resources abound. Ask me about the Water Tower, Stagecrafters, Valley
Green, the Woodmere Art Gallery, or any of some 20 delightful restaurants
clustered along Germantown Avenue. This much sought-after community is worth
your visit.
 With an approximate population of 30,000, Mt. Airy combines the
elegance of 18th and 19th century architecture with the tempo of modern
life. It is truly "an historic neighborhood that promotes the very best in
cultural, ethnic and community diversity." And when you are in town, don't
forget to ask me about EMAN and WMAN, Weaver's Way Co-op, Sedgwick Cultural
Center, Umbria, Goat Hollow, the Mt. Airy Learning Tree, and Devil's Pool.
These are all features that make Mt. Airy simply a wonderful place to
live.
With thanks to Paul Rickert and Melvin Chappell for the use of their
