Ambler is a vibrant borough in Montgomery County, known for its walkable downtown, cultural attractions, and charming historic homes.
Jim's take
A walkable downtown built around the Ambler Theater, with plenty of places to eat and a train station right in town. One of the easier commutes on the Lansdale/Doylestown Line.

Jim's tip. Local income tax can swing more than you’d think. Most of the county charges 1%. Lower Merion and Upper Merion charge residents 0%, and Cheltenham is 1.5%. On $200,000 of wages, that’s the difference between $0 and $3,000 a year. A 0% town can still mean paying the rate where you work.
