East Lansdowne, PA, is a quaint borough located in Delaware County, offering a unique blend of small-town charm and close-knit community living. With a population of 2,668 as of the 2010 census, this borough may be small in size, covering only 0.2 square miles, but it boasts a rich cultural and historical heritage. At Clay's Automotive Service Center, located in nearby Folsom, PA, we are proud to serve the residents of East Lansdowne, providing top-quality auto repair services to keep their vehicles in peak condition.
East Lansdowne is situated at the coordinates 39°56′39″N 75°15′37″W, nestled just a half-mile west of Southwest Philadelphia. The borough is surrounded by Upper Darby Township, with the Stonehurst Hills and 69th Street neighborhoods to the west and the Fernwood area nearby. Union Avenue serves as a natural boundary between East Lansdowne and Upper Darby. The borough's unique shape is partly defined by the former railroad track that marks its western boundary, giving it an oval-like appearance.
To the south of the borough lies the bustling community of Yeadon, separated by the SEPTA Media/Wawa Line railroad tracks. This proximity to major transportation routes and neighboring boroughs makes East Lansdowne an ideal location for those seeking a peaceful suburban lifestyle with easy access to urban amenities.
The William Penn School District serves the educational needs of East Lansdowne residents. The district, established in 1972, offers a range of educational opportunities for students of all ages. The East Lansdowne Basics Magnet Elementary School, catering to students from kindergarten through sixth grade, is known for its dedicated staff and commitment to academic excellence. Notably, the school's library has historically been open to the public, providing a valuable resource for the community.
For middle and high school students, Penn Wood Middle School and Penn Wood High School, with campuses in Darby, Yeadon, and Lansdowne, provide comprehensive education and extracurricular activities. Additionally, Vision Academy Charter School, which recently acquired the former St. Cyril of Alexandria buildings, offers education from kindergarten through eighth grade, continuing the legacy of quality education in the area.
East Lansdowne has a rich religious history, particularly within the Roman Catholic community. St. Cyril of Alexandria Church, established in June 1928, was a cornerstone of the borough's Catholic community. Although the church was merged into St. Philomena Church in Lansdowne in 2013, the legacy of St. Cyril continues to be felt in the community. The former St. Cyril of Alexandria Catholic Elementary School, once a beacon of education and community spirit, experienced a "Miracle at St. Cyril" when a child with cystic fibrosis inspired the community to raise $200,000 to keep the school open. Today, the site hosts Vision Academy Charter School, ensuring that the spirit of learning and community continues to thrive.
