Telford is a quiet, primarily residential community located in southeastern Pennsylvania, approximately 40 miles northwest of Philadelphia. Sprawling old farmhouses mix with older single-family residences and new construction in a variety of styles and price ranges. Active civic groups, a grassroots friendliness and old-world Pennsylvania hospitality characterize this community. Shopping facilities and recreation opportunities are available locally, although residents have a plethora of resources from which to choose in the Philadelphia area.
