Homes for Sale in Clifton Heights, PA — Closest Delaware County Borough to Philadelphia

Searching for homes for sale in Clifton Heights, PA? Just 5 miles from Center City Philadelphia, Clifton Heights offers one of the shortest commutes of any Delaware County community at an accessible price point. Its walkable character, SEPTA trolley connections, Darby Creek trail access, and distinct neighborhood pockets — from the family-friendly streets of Westbrook Park to the Darby Creek-adjacent northeastern section — make it increasingly attractive to city buyers seeking more space without sacrificing their Philadelphia connection.

As a Delaware County specialist covering all of the county, I help buyers navigate Clifton Heights' distinct neighborhoods and help sellers reach the active buyer pool this well-located borough consistently attracts.

Why Buy a Home in Clifton Heights, PA?

  • Schools: Upper Darby School District — serving Clifton Heights Borough and the surrounding Upper Darby communities
  • Commute: SEPTA's 101 and 102 trolley lines connect directly to 69th Street Terminal and onward via the Market-Frankford Line to Center City — among the fastest and most direct transit commutes of any Delaware County community. Center City is typically reachable in 20–25 minutes total
  • Price range: Homes typically sell from $160,000 to $350,000 — genuinely affordable for a community this close to Philadelphia with this level of transit access
  • Home styles: Semi-detached twins, rowhomes, and small singles — classic dense suburban housing stock with walkable street patterns
  • Local draw: Darby Creek Park and trail system, Kent Dog Park, proximity to 69th Street Terminal's commercial district, and the borough's own walkable East Baltimore Avenue corridor
  • City-adjacent value: For buyers priced out of West Philadelphia, Cobbs Creek, or other Philadelphia neighborhoods, Clifton Heights delivers comparable transit access and walkability at significantly lower home prices

Clifton Heights Neighborhoods

Clifton Heights packs several distinct residential characters into a compact borough:

  • Westbrook Park: A quiet, family-friendly area known for its walkability, clean streets, and close-knit community identity — one of Clifton Heights' most desirable residential pockets. Strong demand from families and buyers who want a settled neighborhood feel with good trolley access. Prices typically $210K–$325K.
  • Prospect / Davis: A well-maintained residential section noted for its quiet atmosphere and close proximity to local amenities and shops. A consistent, practical neighborhood that appeals to buyers seeking a low-key, established community feel. Prices typically $185K–$295K.
  • Borough Center / East Baltimore Avenue: The main central section of the borough — a busy mix of local shops, restaurants, and apartment living including Glenmore Place Apartments. The most urban-feeling part of Clifton Heights with direct trolley access and walkable commercial amenities. Prices typically $160K–$275K.
  • Northeastern Section: An area bordering Darby Creek — noted for its laid-back feel, lower housing costs, and immediate proximity to Kent Dog Park and the Darby Creek Trail. A particularly appealing pocket for buyers who prioritize outdoor access and a quieter, creek-adjacent setting. Prices typically $160K–$265K.
  • Cliff Park: A specific residential area located on North Sycamore Avenue — a defined residential pocket within the borough with its own street-level identity. Prices typically $175K–$285K.
  • Clifton Heights South: Cited in local real estate data as a distinct and slightly more expensive area within the borough — reflecting a housing stock or location advantage that differentiates it from the borough's more affordable sections. Prices typically $225K–$350K.

Clifton Heights Real Estate Market

Clifton Heights is one of Delaware County's most transit-proximate markets — and that proximity to Philadelphia drives consistent demand from a specific and growing buyer profile: city residents who want more space, a yard, or lower costs but aren't willing to give up a short SEPTA commute. The trolley connection to 69th Street and onward to Center City is genuinely one of the best transit assets of any affordable Delaware County community, and buyers who discover it tend to be decisive.

Entry-level homes priced correctly in Westbrook Park and Clifton Heights South move quickly. The borough's density and housing type also attract investors, so competition at the lower price tiers can include cash buyers — preparation and pre-approval are essential for owner-occupant buyers who want to compete effectively.
