Make the Most of Your Media Stay

A planned community with purpose

Media was designed in 1850 as Delaware County's seat, and that intentionality still defines the borough today. The rectangular grid centers on the historic courthouse, with brick sidewalks and a working trolley line running down State Street—the last of its kind in suburban America. The 1927 Media Theatre, a Beaux-Arts landmark, anchors the cultural scene with Broadway-caliber productions. Beyond downtown, Tyler Arboretum's 650 acres preserve Quaker heritage alongside rare horticultural collections, while Ridley Creek State Park's 2,600 acres offer the Colonial Pennsylvania Plantation and Olmsted-designed gardens.

Dining under the stars

Known as "Everybody's Hometown," Media lives up to its trademarked slogan through genuine community spirit. Every Wednesday from May through September, State Street closes for Dining Under the Stars, transforming the thoroughfare into an al fresco dining plaza with live music. The restaurant density is remarkable—Azie Asian Fusion, Spasso Italian Grill, and The Towne House represent just a fraction of independent establishments serving everything from hand-cut steaks to global cuisine.

Connected to Philadelphia

SEPTA's Media/Wawa Regional Rail Line reaches Center City Philadelphia in under an hour, while the Route 101 trolley connects to 69th Street Transportation Center. Philadelphia International Airport sits 11 miles away. The location positions you for day trips to Longwood Gardens, the Brandywine Valley estates, or Lancaster's Amish Country—all within 30 minutes.
