Folcroft, PA Condo for Sale

Folcroft, Pennsylvania, is a residential borough in Delaware County characterized by its mix of row homes, local businesses, and community spaces along sidewalk-lined streets. The borough is named after an Old English term meaning "leafy fields," a fitting description given the over 1,000 acres of woodlands and tidal marshes in the nearby John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge at Tinicum. Folcroft is divided into two communities: Delmar Village, featuring mid-1900s red-brick row homes with covered front porticos and finished basements, and Old Folcroft, known for early 20th-century single-family homes including Dutch Colonial Revivals, traditional twin homes, and ranch-style houses. Delmar Drive is a hub for shopping and dining, with local favorites like Major’s Folcroft Market, Miller’s Café II, and Italian Style Pizza & Pasta. The borough hosts annual events such as the Juneteenth Celebration and Community Day Street Fair, which features local vendors and a fireworks show. Residents enjoy outdoor activities at Montgomery Park and the John Heinz National Wildlife Refuge, which offers over 10 miles of hiking trails around Darby Creek. Folcroft Station on SEPTA’s Wilmington/Newark Line provides convenient access to Center City Philadelphia, located about 13 miles northeast, while Interstate 95 and local bus service offer additional transportation options. The borough's safety is comparable to the national average, making it a practical choice for families and commuters alike.
