Homes for Sale in Upper Darby Township, PA — One of Delaware County's Most Affordable Markets

Searching for homes for sale in Upper Darby, PA? With over 83,000 residents, Upper Darby is the largest municipality in Delaware County and one of the most diverse and accessible housing markets in the entire Philadelphia region. The township stretches from the walkable, transit-connected neighborhoods near 69th Street all the way south to quieter residential areas in Primos and Secane — with a price range and neighborhood character to match almost any buyer's priorities.

Upper Darby moves fast. Affordable, well-located homes here routinely attract multiple offers, and first-time buyers who aren't prepared miss out. As a local Delaware County Realtor, I help buyers at every price point navigate this high-turnover market with a clear strategy.

Why Buy a Home in Upper Darby, PA?

  • Schools: Upper Darby School District — one of the largest and most diverse districts in Delaware County, serving a broad student population across multiple elementary schools, Beverly Hills Middle School, and Upper Darby High School
  • Commute: 69th Street Transportation Center is one of the most significant transit hubs in the Philadelphia suburbs — SEPTA's Market-Frankford Line (subway) connects directly to Center City in under 20 minutes, with additional bus and trolley routes serving the entire township
  • Price range: Homes typically sell from $150,000 to $450,000 — offering some of the strongest value per square foot in all of Delaware County
  • Home styles: Twin homes, rowhomes, Cape Cods, split-levels, and brick semi-detached homes — classic Philadelphia-area housing stock with solid bones
  • Local draw: Upper Darby Performing Arts Center, Drexel Hill shopping corridors, proximity to the 69th Street commercial district, and the historic Lower Swedish Cabin — one of the oldest surviving log structures in North America
  • Investment potential: Upper Darby's affordability, transit access, and proximity to Philadelphia make it one of Delaware County's most active markets for both owner-occupants and investors

Upper Darby Township Neighborhoods

Upper Darby is a large, geographically diverse township — knowing which neighborhood fits your needs before you start searching saves significant time:

  • Drexel Hill: The township's largest and most recognizable residential area — tree-lined streets, classic twin homes and Cape Cods, and a strong community identity. Home to the historic Lower Swedish Cabin and a variety of local shops and dining. The most popular destination for families moving into Upper Darby. Prices typically $200K–$400K.
  • Highland Park & Bywood: Dense, walkable neighborhoods situated close to the 69th Street Transportation Center — ideal for buyers who want fast subway access to Philadelphia without paying city prices. More urban in character than Drexel Hill, with a mix of twins and rowhomes. Prices typically $150K–$300K.
  • Stonehurst & Stonehurst Hills: Feature early 1900s brick and stone twin homes with a more urban streetscape feel. Character-rich housing stock that appeals to buyers who appreciate pre-war architecture. Close to transit and the commercial corridors along West Chester Pike and Garrett Road. Prices typically $175K–$325K.
  • Aronimink: A more suburban-feeling pocket of the township with quieter residential streets and slightly larger lots than the denser northern neighborhoods. A step removed from the transit corridors, which gives it a calmer character. Prices typically $225K–$375K.
  • Primos & Secane: Located in the southern portion of the township, these neighborhoods offer a mix of residential options with easy access to SEPTA's Media/Elwyn Regional Rail line — adding a second transit option beyond the subway. A practical choice for buyers who want more space at accessible price points. Prices typically $200K–$375K.

Upper Darby Township Real Estate Market

Upper Darby is one of the highest-turnover markets in Delaware County. Affordability drives consistent buyer demand, and the combination of transit access and proximity to Philadelphia keeps that demand from fading even when the broader market softens. Entry-level homes priced correctly — particularly in Drexel Hill and the neighborhoods closest to 69th Street — regularly receive multiple offers within days.

For first-time buyers, Upper Darby is one of the most realistic entry points into Delaware County homeownership. Getting pre-approved and understanding your target neighborhoods before you start touring is essential — the best-value homes don't stay available long enough for extended deliberation.

For investors, Upper Darby's combination of affordable acquisition costs, strong rental demand, and SEPTA connectivity makes it one of the more compelling markets in the county for buy-and-hold strategies.

Frequently Asked Questions About Upper Darby, PA

Is Upper Darby, PA a good place to live?
For buyers who prioritize transit access, affordability, and proximity to Philadelphia, Upper Darby consistently delivers. It is one of the most ethnically and culturally diverse communities in Delaware County, with a vibrant local character. The trade-off relative to communities further into the county is school district performance — the Upper Darby School District serves a large, complex population and results vary by school.

What school district is Upper Darby Township in?
Upper Darby Township is served by the Upper Darby School District. Note that portions of the southern township — particularly around Primos and Secane — may have addresses that border adjacent districts. Always verify the specific address's school assignment before purchasing if schools are a deciding factor.

How far is Upper Darby from Philadelphia?
The 69th Street Transportation Center is approximately 6 miles from Center City. SEPTA's Market-Frankford Line (the El/subway) runs directly from 69th Street Terminal to destinations throughout Philadelphia, with a travel time of under 20 minutes to Center City. Upper Darby is one of the best-connected transit suburbs in the region.

What are home prices like in Upper Darby, PA?
Upper Darby is one of Delaware County's most affordable markets. Prices range from approximately $150,000 for smaller twins and rowhomes in the denser neighborhoods near 69th Street to $400,000–$450,000 for larger single-family homes in Drexel Hill and Aronimink. The broad middle of the market trades in the $200,000–$350,000 range — offering excellent value relative to Philadelphia neighborhoods with comparable transit access.

Welcome to 231 Springfield Road, where we’re serving the icing before the cake! We’re starting right at the back of the house with the standout family room addition. Highlighting a soaring vaulted ceiling and a sliding glass door that opens directly onto the rear deck, this space features a flexible bonus room (perfect as a dedicated home office) that can easily remain as-is or be opened up by removing the partition walls to create an even more expansive family room. The current owners loved the sheer versatility of this setup. Over the years, they utilized the bonus room as a private main-level retreat for an aging family member who needed first-floor living. They even envisioned using the entire vaulted family room as a main-floor primary room, turning the bonus room into a massive walk-in closet! (Buyers to check with the township and county regarding the legality of any specific intended uses). Pair this light-filled addition and deck access with a main-floor full bathroom nearby, an incredible backyard with an outdoor brick fireplace and barbecue grill structure with side compartments and a central hearth, and a detached 2-car garage. With the right permits and upgrades, this garage is far more than parking: it's the ultimate setup for a workshop, car-wrenching bay, ultimate hangout space, craft shed, or remote studio. Inside, classic character flows through light-filled formal living and dining rooms featuring classic hardwood floors on the main level and second-floor landing (hardwood under the second-floor bedroom carpets is possible, though unverified). Upstairs offers three generous bedrooms and a second full bath. Pride of ownership is evident throughout, backed by major mechanical updates: the addition was built in 2005, the natural gas forced air heating and central A/C system was replaced in August 2022, and a new natural gas water heater was installed in January 2025. To top it all off, you have an unbeatable location: approximately a half-mile to SEPTA Regional Rail and the 102 Trolley, around 6 miles to PHL Airport, and an easy drive into Philadelphia. Don't miss out on this uniquely versatile home! All measurements are approximate. Buyer and buyer's agent are advised to independently verify all information to their satisfaction. Advertised square footage is sourced from Delaware County, PA tax records. Floor plan dimensions are captured via electronic measuring tools and are intended for illustrative purposes only.
