Ithan is centered on the intersection of King of Prussia and Conestoga Roads, at the site of the Radnor Friends Meetinghouse.[2] It is located approximately 1 mile south of Lancaster Avenue on the Main Line.

The community is located to the south of Radnor, and southeast of Wayne, and is nearly entirely residential, barring a small business district immediately surrounding the Meetinghouse. Prior to the 1980s, Ithan was relatively rural and undeveloped. However, increased population growth in the Delaware Valley, along with Ithan's location close to the Main Line, has catapulted Ithan into one of the most desirable suburbs of Philadelphia.

All of Ithan is part of the Radnor Township School District, and the community is also home to the Academy of Notre Dame de Namur.[3]
