Media combines a walkable borough center, independent businesses, civic institutions, regional rail, the State Street trolley, and established residential neighborhoods.
Media Borough is the county seat of Delaware County. Incorporated in 1850 as a planned community, it covers about 0.76 square miles and centers on State Street, where restaurants, independent shops, offices, civic buildings and cultural venues sit close to residential blocks. Media Station serves SEPTA’s Media/Wawa Regional Rail Line, while the D1 trolley, historically Route 101, runs along State Street toward 69th Street Transit Center.
Housing within the borough includes Victorian and early twentieth-century twins, rowhouses, detached traditional homes, condos and townhomes. The broader 19063 postal area extends beyond the borough into surrounding townships, so buyers should distinguish a Media mailing address from a property located inside Media Borough when comparing taxes, walkability, municipal services and housing values.
The Meghan Chorin Team brings more than 20 years of Delaware County and Main Line experience and over $1 billion in closed transactions. The team evaluates each Media property by its exact municipality, school assignment, housing type, condition, parking, location and current comparable sales.
Media’s county-seat role, historic street grid, courthouse, library, parks and community organizations create a strong civic identity within a compact, walkable setting.
For the 2026 season, State Street hosts outdoor dining every Wednesday evening from May through September, with more than two dozen participating restaurants and traffic restrictions during the event.
Media Borough is served by Rose Tree Media School District. The district operates four elementary schools, Springton Lake Middle School and Penncrest High School; elementary assignment should be verified by street address.
Restaurants, independent retailers, grocery shopping, professional services, parks, the library and cultural venues are concentrated in and around the downtown grid. Walkability varies by block and by whether a property is inside the borough or elsewhere in the 19063 postal area.
Media Station serves the Media/Wawa Regional Rail Line. The D1 trolley, formerly Route 101, runs through State Street and connects with 69th Street Transit Center. Service and journey times vary, so current SEPTA schedules should be checked.
