  • Background Analysis
    BACKGROUND ANALYSIS 3 ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT Jenkintown's central business district is concentrated along Old York Road from Washington Lane to Cloverly Avenue, providing a dense mix of retail and office uses. Significant commercial activity is also located along West Avenue, as well as smaller streets surrounding the Old York and West intersection. Another cluster of office development is at the western edge of the borough near the Jenkintown SEPTA station, although associated retail services are located across the tracks in Cheltenham Township. The major focus for Jenkintown's commercial base, as well as its overall image, is the traditional business district centered around the intersection of Old York and West. Since this business district is geographi- cally located at the top of a hill, it is referred to as "Uptown." The physical layout of Uptown, with its his- toric buildings and intimate streetscape, lends to a small-town atmosphere. “Uptown” contains “Uptown” many historic continues along commercial build- West Avenue ings along Old with speciality York Road. shops and service retail. Jenkintown rests amid a wealthy area of suburbs in eastern Montgomery County. Estimated median income for 2000 was $55,604, while the average income for households with children was $84,443. Jenkintown residents also have high educational attainment, with 93% holding high school diplomas and 43% with college degrees. With this strong demographic base, the borough is well known for its quality school district. These factors make Jenkintown attractive for employers seeking educated workers, busi- nesses seeking to locate near disposable income, and families seeking quality schools. Previous Planning Efforts In past decades, Jenkintown was a regional commercial center known for its department stores and spe- cialty retail shops.
