Haverford PA Homes for Sale

Homes for Sale in Havertown, PA — Top-Rated Schools & Walkable Villages

Searching for homes for sale in Havertown, PA? Havertown is the name almost everyone uses for Haverford Township, though you won't find "Havertown" on any municipal charter. The U.S. Post Office coined it in 1946 to unify mail delivery across a cluster of older villages, Oakmont, Brookline, Manoa, Llanerch, Bon Air, Penfield, Beechwood, and Coopertown, that had each grown up with its own identity going back to the Welsh Quakers who settled here in 1681. Today it's one of the largest and most established communities in Delaware County, with top-rated schools, walkable village centers, and Main Line convenience without a Main Line price tag.

This is a competitive market. Homes here routinely draw multiple offers, and well-priced listings in the most walkable pockets can move in a couple of weeks. It's a different pace than what you'll find in a market like Chester, and closer to what buyers experience in Wallingford or Swarthmore. As a Delaware County specialist, I help buyers move quickly and confidently when the right Havertown home comes on the market, and help sellers position their home to draw the strongest possible offer.

Why Buy a Home in Havertown, PA?

Schools: The entire township, all of Havertown, is served by the School District of Haverford Township, a single K-12 district built around Haverford High School. One district for the whole area makes school boundaries simple here compared to towns split across multiple districts.

Commute: SEPTA's Route 100 (the Norristown High Speed Line) runs through Havertown with stops including Beechwood-Brookline and Ardmore Junction, connecting to 69th Street Transit Center and the Market-Frankford Line into Center City in roughly 28 to 31 minutes. Drivers have easy access to West Chester Pike (Route 3) and I-476, the Blue Route.

Price range: Recent sales and pending listings put the median around $537,000, with townhouses typically closer to $449,000 and the upper end of the market regularly clearing $550,000 to $600,000.

Home styles: Classic streetcar suburb housing stock from the 1920s through the 1950s, twins, colonials, and Cape Cods on tree-lined blocks, with pockets of newer construction and townhomes mixed in.

Local draw: The Grange Estate, a National Register-listed 1750 mansion turned museum and community center, sits right in Havertown, along with the Skatium ice rink, the walkable shops and restaurants along Brookline Boulevard, Karakung Golf Course, and Naylor's Run Park.

Community character: Havertown isn't one place so much as a set of distinct historic villages that happen to share a zip code. That patchwork is exactly what gives it its character, and it means the feel of a block can change meaningfully just by crossing into the next village over.

Havertown's Historic Villages

Havertown's identity is built on the older village names that predate the 1946 postal designation. Knowing them helps you understand what you're actually buying into.

Oakmont: Considered, along with Brookline, the heart of Havertown. Eagle Road cuts through the middle of it, a route first laid out around 1696 for the Old Haverford Friends Meetinghouse. St. Denis Church, founded in 1825 for mill workers in the Karakung Creek valley, still anchors the area.

Brookline: Havertown's most fully realized planned community, dating to a 1909 layout. Brookline Boulevard is the walkable commercial spine of the township, lined with local shops and restaurants.

Manoa: A residential village bordering Oakmont, part of the same historic core that grew up along the old trolley lines.

Llanerch: One of Havertown's older developed sections, with its first school built in 1905 (later converted to apartments). A settled, established residential feel.

Bon Air, Penfield, Beechwood, and Coopertown: Smaller historic sections that round out the township, each tracing back to the original Welsh Tract land divisions under William Penn.

Havertown Real Estate Market

Havertown is one of the largest markets I cover, and it behaves like it: steady demand, consistent turnover, and enough inventory variety that buyers at very different price points and life stages can all find something that fits. The competitive dynamic is real, multiple offers are common, so buyers need to be pre-approved and ready to move before they start touring seriously.

What sets Havertown apart from some of the county's smaller, single-note markets is the range. You can find a starter twin near Llanerch, a classic colonial in Oakmont, or a larger property closer to the Main Line border, all within the same school district and the same easy commute into the city.
