Additional NotesWhether you love small-town charm or big-city culture, Gwynedd Estates has something for you. The community of Ambler, with its shops, dining and restored 1920s-era movie house, is minutes away. So are all the conveniences of suburban shopping and the outstanding facilities of the Ambler YMCA. For natural beauty, stroll Milt’s Path through the protected wetlands at the heart of our campus. For the excitement of the city, head to nearby Philadelphia.
