Today, this small quaint community is considered a passage or gateway to Lower Merion Township and the greater City Line Avenue and Main Line areas. The neighborhood style that became characteristic of Narberth in the 1920s exists to the present day. It should be noted that many businesses and residents will have a Narberth mailing address, but will actually be located in surrounding Lower Merion Township. The entire borough is serviced by public water and sewer facilities. A full-time police force serves the residents.
Fire protection is provided by volunteer companies.
Residential trash disposal is provided by the borough. A full- time recreation director oversees various activities. Facilities include two parks with playground equipment, two basketball courts, and several tennis courts. Boys and girls basketball programs are run by the borough. Little League programs are run by private organizations.
