Strath Haven Condominiums is a mid-rise residential complex in Swarthmore built in 1969 and rising to 12 stories with one- to three-bedroom condominium homes. The exterior landscaping and hardscape are established and include sidewalks, exterior lighting, water features and mature trees that frame pathways to multiple entrances. Units vary from traditional floor plans to open-concept layouts; many residences feature private balconies with wooded or creek views, hardwood floors, sizeable closets, updated kitchens with islands or peninsulas, and in-unit laundry or convenient stackable washer/dryer closets. Building-level common areas were significantly renovated in recent years and include a staffed lobby, secure mail/package rooms, management and maintenance offices, elevators, and meeting rooms for community events. On-site lifestyle amenities are broad and communal: a large outdoor swimming pool with cabana and changing rooms, a lending library, hobby/workshop rooms, social and card/game spaces, and a community van service providing regular local shopping and transit trips. The association maintains a comprehensive HOA package that routinely covers utilities (heat, A/C, water, sewer, trash, and often electricity and gas), exterior/building upkeep, and pool access; some units also convey deeded carports or storage lockers. The property sits within easy walking distance of Swarthmore College, Scott Arboretum, village shops and restaurants, regional rail access, and nearby trails and recreational sites, supporting a low-maintenance, community-oriented suburban lifestyle.
