Lansdowne is a Delaware County borough immediately west of Philadelphia, known for historic residential architecture and a compact downtown. Its streets contain Victorian-era homes, twins, rowhomes, and other housing styles reflecting the borough’s growth as an early streetcar and railroad suburb.

Lansdowne Avenue and Baltimore Avenue provide shopping, restaurants, and connections through eastern Delaware County. SEPTA Regional Rail offers service toward Center City, while local arts and community organizations contribute to the borough’s cultural activity. Nearby Upper Darby, Yeadon, and Philadelphia place Lansdowne close to both city and suburban destinations.
