Wayne is an unincorporated community centered in Delaware County, Pennsylvania, United States, on the Main Line, a series of highly affluent Philadelphia suburbs located along the railroad tracks of the Pennsylvania Railroad and one of the wealthiest areas in the nation. While the center of Wayne is in Radnor Township, Wayne extends into both Tredyffrin Township in Chester County and Upper Merion Township in Montgomery County. The center of Wayne was designated the Downtown Wayne Historic District in 2012. Considering the large area served by the Wayne post office, the community may extend slightly into Easttown Township, Chester County, as well.Wikipedia

About the RegionMid-Atlantic

The Mid-Atlantic corridor — New York City south through Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washington D.C. — is the densest and most economically complex region in the country. Finance and media anchor New York; government, defense, and federal contracting anchor D.C.; healthcare and universities anchor Philadelphia and Baltimore. This makes the region one of the most recession-resistant labor markets in the U.S., though the same fundamentals push housing costs persistently high.

Philadelphia and Baltimore offer substantially lower costs than either New York or D.C. while sitting on the same high-speed rail line, making them increasingly attractive to remote workers and hybrid commuters. The New Jersey and Delaware suburbs fill in between, providing family-oriented communities within commuting range of multiple cities. The region's density means genuine walkability in most urban cores, strong transit infrastructure, and cultural institutions that rival anywhere on earth.
