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 adopted the name in 1946 as a replacement for the old Llanerch post office, and today the Havertown address covers most of the township's older villages, Oakmont, Brookline, Manoa, Llanerch, Bon Air, Penfield, Beechwood, and Coopertown, each with its own identity going back to the Welsh Quakers who arrived here in 1682. 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. Well-priced homes in the most walkable pockets draw a lot of buyers, and my Havertown market report shows how fast they are moving right now. 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: All of Haverford Township is served by the School District of Haverford Township, a single K-12 district built around Haverford High School. One catch: the Havertown mailing address also reaches into small sections of Upper Darby and Lower Merion, and those homes are in other school districts, so check the township on any listing before you count on Haverford schools.

Commute: SEPTA's M line (the Norristown High Speed Line, formerly Route 100) has seven stops in the township, including Beechwood-Brookline and Ardmore Junction, connecting to 69th Street Transit Center and the L (Market-Frankford Line) into Center City in roughly 28 to 31 minutes; check SEPTA's schedule for your stop. Drivers have easy access to West Chester Pike (Route 3) and I-476, the Blue Route, though drive times swing with traffic, so check a traffic app for your actual route.

Price range: Townhouses are the entry point, and the most sought-after pockets sit at the top. Prices move every month, so I keep the live numbers in my Havertown market report.

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, and about 30 township parks.

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. 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, laid out by the railroad as a planned community in 1897. Its post office is the one that was renamed Havertown in 1946. A settled, established residential feel.

Bon Air, Penfield, Beechwood, and Coopertown: Smaller historic sections that round out the township, along with neighborhoods like Chatham Village and Westgate Hills.

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, 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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Havertown, PA

Is Havertown the same as Haverford Township?

Mostly. Havertown is the postal name for most of Haverford Township, adopted by the U.S. Post Office in 1946. Parts of the township use Ardmore, Bryn Mawr, Haverford, or Wynnewood mailing addresses instead, and the Havertown address also reaches into small slivers of Upper Darby and Lower Merion. In day-to-day conversation, people use the two names interchangeably.

Is Havertown, PA a good place to live?

Consistently a strong yes for buyers who want established neighborhoods, a top-rated school district, and walkable village centers without paying true Main Line prices. The mix of housing stock and price points means it works for first-time buyers and move-up buyers alike.

What school district is Havertown in?

All of Haverford Township is served by the School District of Haverford Township, anchored by Haverford High School. A few homes with a Havertown mailing address sit in Upper Darby or Lower Merion instead, so check the township on the listing.

How far is Havertown from Philadelphia?

About 9 miles from Center City. SEPTA's M line connects to the L (Market-Frankford Line) at 69th Street Transit Center, with a total trip of roughly 28 to 31 minutes. Driving time depends heavily on traffic, so check a traffic app for your actual route.

What are home prices like in Havertown?

Townhomes are the entry point, and larger homes in the most sought-after pockets sit at the top. For current listings and recent sales, see my Havertown market report.
