Danny Bonaduce's hometown is a little town called Broomall, Pennsylvania. If you live here, it may be unlikely that you'll ever reach his level of fame (or infamy.) But it's still a pretty good place to live! This suburb of Philadelphia has a little less of Philly's hustle and bustle, but still has all the diversity and interesting features you want.
Named for a 19th century U.S. congressman, from the area, Broomall is located in Delaware County, Pennsylvania. Located outside of Philadelphia, the city has just under 11,000 residents, per 2010 U.S. Census data. As a suburb of Philly, Broomall is close to New York, Washington, D.C., beaches and mountains. The area allows access to a variety of activities, so you won't be bored.
Moving to Broomall
Broomall has many options of places for rent from studios to three bedrooms. On a budget or looking for less space to take care of? You can find a 1 bedroom apartment complete with a kitchen, bath, and more.
The tiny home movement is taking off nationwide, emphasizing smaller spaces, less possessions and downsizing your life. Why not searching a few studio apartments in Broomall? Whether you are searching in an apartment complex or individual space above a storefront, a studio for rent can simplify your life.
Can't live out without more rooms? Another great living arrangement are condo rentals to avoid losing out on the feel of a home. Many condo properties also include the luxuries of garages, dishwashers and extra storage you'll miss in a smaller apartment.
When you find the perfect rental for you, come prepared with all the usual things that landlords like to see. A good job, solid rental references and enough money for the security deposit and first (and sometimes also last) month's rent will get you fixed up.
In the City
Broomall has a lot of history for you to appreciate. One of the oldest houses in the country is located here. And the Quaker Thomas Massey House is located here, on Lawrence Road. This brick-and-stone home was built in 1696, and was donated to Marple Township in 1964 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Massey was an indentured servant who worked off his indenture and received 50 acres of his own from William Penn.
