Searching for homes for sale in the Marple Newtown School District? This district covers about 21 square miles in central Delaware County, made up of two townships, Marple Township (home to Broomall) and Newtown Township (better known as Newtown Square). It's consistently one of the strongest districts in the county: Niche's 2025 rankings placed it fourth among all Delaware County school districts with an A grade, just behind Radnor Township, Garnet Valley, and Wallingford-Swarthmore. Marple Newtown Senior High School, home of the Tigers, serves the entire district from its Newtown Square campus, along with Paxon Hollow Middle School and four elementary schools.
Marple and Newtown Square each have their own character even though they share this top-tier school system. As a Delaware County specialist, I help buyers compare both townships directly so you find the right fit for your budget and priorities within one of the county's best-regarded districts.
Schools: Culbertson, Loomis, Russell, and Worrall Elementary Schools feed into Paxon Hollow Middle School and Marple Newtown Senior High School. The district has been repeatedly recognized as a Best Community for Music Education by the NAMM Foundation, and its marching band has won multiple Cavalcade of Bands championships.
Commute: Route 3 (West Chester Pike) and I-476 (the Blue Route) both run through the district, connecting to Media, Springfield, Radnor, and beyond. This is a car-dependent area without its own SEPTA Regional Rail stop.
Price range: Pricing varies by township and by specific neighborhood within each. Check the individual town pages below for current detail.
Home styles: A mix of colonials, twins, and single-family homes typical of established Delaware County suburbs, with some newer construction in both townships.
Local draw: Ridley Creek State Park, with its miles of hiking and horseback riding trails, sits just outside the district and is a popular draw for residents of both townships.
Community character: Two well-established townships united by a consistently top-rated school system, each with its own distinct commercial corridor and neighborhood feel.
