Lafayette Hill PA apartments for rent

Small and exclusive, Lafayette Hill is an unincorporated community in Whitemarsh Township, Pennsylvania, just 18 miles north of Philadelphia. Whitemarsh Township was included in the original 28 communities of Montgomery County when it was established in 1784.

Part of Lafayette Hill’s rich history involves its name. Originally known as Marble Hill because of the marble quarries that developed along Germantown Pike, the name was changed in 1883 to honor General Lafayette, who established an outpost here in 1778.

Fort Washington State Park, a historical park named for the temporary fort built on the site during the American Revolution in 1777, is 483-acres. It offers fishing, disc golf, hiking, sledding, and more. In addition, the Green Ribbon Trail is a 2.5-mile multi-use trail that extends along Wissahickon Creek.

A quiet community with good schools, several golf clubs, and a rich history make Lafayette Hill a dynamic apartment renting location.
