Welcome to the Borough of Malvern! We are a unique, small town village located in southeast Pennsylvania, approx. 25 miles west of Philadelphia. The Borough is 1.3 square miles and has a population of approximately 3,200. Malvern has experienced significant growth over the past few years and continues to see tremendous revitalization in both the residential and commercial districts. Funding for the revitalization has been a partnership between the Borough government and the County of Chester.
Malvern dates back to the Victorian era and continues to reflect this in the Victorian facades found in the business district, the Victorian street lamps and the brick pavers. Residents and businesses continue to be attracted to Malvern. Businesses are thriving!
The SEPTA R5 rail system runs alongside the town and makes several stops each day. Buses also run through town on a daily basis, going to West Chester (the County Seat), Exton Square Mall and the King of Prussia Mall. Malvern is a pedestrian-friendly town; residents and shoppers alike walk our streets to visit the many lovely antique and gift shops along King Street. We also boast a small shopping center, consignment shops, coffee-shops, restaurants and flower shops.
Malvern Borough is part of the Great Valley School District which provides outstanding public education to the children of East Whiteland, Willistown and Charlestown townships and the Borough.
