East Lansdowne is located about a half a mile west of Southwest Philadelphia and is surrounded by Upper Darby Township, namely the Stonehurst/Stonehurst Hills/69th Street and Fernwood neighborhoods. Union Avenue to the west separates Lansdowne from Upper Darby, while the East Lansdowne border is near Hirst Avenue, leaving a one-block expanse of land that is part of Upper Darby Township. It is the former railroad track that gives East Lansdowne borough's western boundary that vaguely ovoid shape.
