Homes for Sale in Upper Darby School District, PA: Upper Darby Township, Drexel Hill, Clifton Heights & Millbourne

Upper Darby School District covers Upper Darby Township, including the well-known Drexel Hill section, along with the boroughs of Clifton Heights and Millbourne, all in eastern Delaware County right against the Philadelphia city line. This is one of the largest and most diverse districts in the county, anchored on its eastern edge by the 69th Street Transportation Center, one of the busiest transit hubs in the entire Philadelphia region, and stretching west into Drexel Hill's quieter, more suburban streets.

Upper Darby's mix of dense, walkable neighborhoods near 69th Street and the more traditional single-family feel of Drexel Hill makes this a district with genuine range, and it draws a wide variety of buyers as a result. As a Delaware County specialist, I help buyers understand the neighborhood-by-neighborhood variation within the township and help sellers price accurately in a market with a lot of moving parts.

Why Buy a Home in Upper Darby School District, PA?

  • Communities: Upper Darby Township (including Drexel Hill), Clifton Heights, and Millbourne
  • Commute: The 69th Street Transportation Center puts SEPTA's Market-Frankford Line, trolleys, and buses all within reach, and Cobbs Creek Parkway and Route 1 give quick access into Philadelphia by car
  • Price range: A wide range depending on neighborhood, generally more affordable near 69th Street and steadily climbing as you move west into Drexel Hill
  • Home styles: Twins, rowhomes, and apartment buildings closer to 69th Street, giving way to detached single-family Colonials and Cape Cods once you reach Drexel Hill
  • Local draw: Unmatched transit access for the county, a genuinely diverse and walkable commercial corridor along 69th Street, and Drexel Hill's more established, tree-lined residential streets
  • Community character: Dense and transit-oriented on the eastern end, quieter and more traditionally suburban once you reach Drexel Hill

Homes for Sale by Town in Upper Darby School District

Upper Darby Township: the district's largest community by far, with real variation in housing stock and price from the dense blocks near 69th Street to quieter sections further west.

Clifton Heights: a small, walkable borough within the district, often overlooked but offering solid value.

Millbourne: the smallest municipality in the district, a tiny, tightly built borough right next to the 69th Street Transportation Center. Page coming soon, use the link above once it's live.

Upper Darby School District Real Estate Market

This is a high-volume, high-diversity market. Because the township covers so much ground, pricing and demand vary meaningfully depending on which section you're looking at, with Drexel Hill generally commanding the most within the township and the denser blocks near 69th Street offering the most affordable entry points.

For buyers, that variation means there's genuinely something here at a lot of different price points, but it also means you need someone who knows the specific streets, not just the township name. Drexel Hill in particular gets treated almost like its own market by a lot of buyers, even though it's officially part of Upper Darby Township. For sellers, accurate comparables matter more here than almost anywhere else in the county given how much the market varies block to block.

I provide detailed comparative market analyses at no cost, and I can help you understand exactly how your section of the township, Drexel Hill included, compares to others.

Frequently Asked Questions About Upper Darby School District, PA

Is Upper Darby a good school district?

Upper Darby is a large, diverse district serving around 12,000 students, one of the biggest in the county. Like any large district, quality and experience can vary by school, so I'd rather talk through your specific priorities than give you a blanket answer.

What towns are in Upper Darby School District?

Three municipalities: Upper Darby Township, Clifton Heights, and Millbourne. Drexel Hill is part of Upper Darby Township rather than a separate municipality, but it's big and well-known enough that most buyers search for it as its own community, so I've given it its own page and its own mention here. Clifton Heights and Millbourne are both separate boroughs that fall within this district even though they're not part of Upper Darby Township itself.

How far is Upper Darby School District from Philadelphia?

Most of the district is within 6 to 9 miles of Center City, and parts of Upper Darby Township directly border West Philadelphia. The 69th Street Transportation Center gives some of the fastest transit access to the city anywhere in Delaware County, and Drexel Hill remains a manageable, if car-dependent, commute.

What are home prices like in Upper Darby School District?

Prices vary significantly by neighborhood. Denser sections near 69th Street tend to be more affordable, while Drexel Hill's single-family streets generally command the highest prices in the district.

Given how much this market varies from block to block, and how differently Drexel Hill trades compared to the rest of the township, local knowledge genuinely matters here. As a Delaware County specialist, I can help you find the right section of the district for your budget and priorities.

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.
