One of the Coolest Suburbs in America

You won’t get far in Media without hearing someone refer proudly to this quintessential small suburb by its nickname: “Everybody’s Hometown”—a distinction locals take seriously. This down-to-earth town with Quaker roots and a strong commitment to community is full of warmth for everybody—whether Media is your hometown or you’re just stopping by for the afternoon.

One of the first buildings you’ll notice (because it’s impossible to miss) is the imposingly beautiful and historic courthouse. During the week, the surrounding sidewalks are bustling with people on their way to court and government-related work and activities. A few blocks from the courthouse is State Street, which is just about the cutest hometown thoroughfare you can imagine. It’s teeming with shops and restaurants, and a weekly farmers market (don’t skip the Maiale Deli Salumeria sausage stand). State Street has something for everyone.

The borough of Media is surrounded by the Greater Media area, and the town of Media, where you’ll find more of that classic suburb-feel, infused with the charm of the borough.

New homes and apartment buildings seem to sprout overnight to accommodate the growing number of people who want to make Media their forever-home.
