Bala Cynwyd ( BAL-ə-KIN-wuud) is a community in Lower Merion Township which is located on the Main Line in southeastern Pennsylvania, bordering the western edge of Philadelphia at US Route 1 (City Avenue). It was originally two separate towns, Bala and Cynwyd, but is commonly treated as a single community. This came about when a single US Post Office served both towns (the "Bala Cynwyd" Branch) using ZIP code 19004. The community was long known as hyphenated Bala-Cynwyd. Bala and Cynwyd are currently served by separate stations on SEPTA's Cynwyd Line of Regional Rail.

Bala Cynwyd offers extensive public transportation and it is easy to walk places. I am new to the area, so do not have a lot of other insight.
This community is very age friendly because of the environment. It's very well kept, respectable and trust worthy neighbors. The education centers and transportation surrounding the community also contributes to it.
