Berwyn Heights is a quiet residential community, set back and somewhat secluded, with curving streets and a variety of home styles—Victorians, ramblers, and split-levels. The streetscapes boast mature trees and well-landscaped yards (the town has been awarded the “Tree City USA” designation every year since 1986). There are three major parks and one smaller playground. Facilities in the parks include baseball fields, tennis courts, a hiker-biker trail, and areas for quiet relaxation.
