Jenkintown Borough Website Improvements 

Jenkintown Borough is excited to announce the newest addition to the Borough’s website. We have added a ‘Photo of the Month’ feature to our website! All pictures will be provided through Jenkintown’s own Jon Adams and will be displayed on the front page of Jenkintown’s website for one month. This will give all residents and visitors to the Borough website the opportunity to see all that makes Jenkintown Borough a special place to live and visit.

In addition to this exciting new feature, Jenkintown Borough has been continually working to update its website with information, new pictures and upcoming events including Jenkintown Borough’s Arts Fest that will occur in September. We hope that with these new website features we will be able to reach all residents and visitors to the website to help assist and answer any questions quickly and conveniently. By visiting the Public Works page on the website you can review and or download and print things such as the leaf collection schedule and street sweeper schedule.
The following changes and features have been added to the Borough website recently: Continue reading Jenkintown Borough Website Improvements  →

Welcome to the Borough

Jenkintown Borough is a small suburban town, less than a square mile in area, with a population of approximately 4,450 residents. Surrounded by bustling Abington and Cheltenham Townships and a short drive to Philadelphia, Jenkintown appears to be a quiet oasis. The small-town vibe of Jenkintown allows residents to share strong social ties to the community and gain a sense of support and inclusion from residents to business owners.

Jenkintown residents enjoy the walkable business district, the multiple places to worship, the benefit of accessible public transportation by both Rail and Bus, as well as our own Nationally Ranked School District.

Jenkintown Borough Hall is located at 700 Summit Avenue in Jenkintown, PA 19046. The office is open Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. and on Wednesday evenings we are open until 7 p.m. Borough Hall can be reached at 215-885-0700 or please feel free to stop by in person for any questions or concerns that you may have.

Our town continues to grow and expand offering the residents, as well as visitors, the chance to browse the many distinctive shops, dine in the wide variety of restaurants and to experience all the arts and entertainment we have to offer throughout the community. We’re glad you’re here!
