A family-oriented community along the Main Line
On the surface, Ardmore appears to be a sleepy bedroom community in the Philadelphia suburbs, but with more than 5,000 homes, it's more like a sleeping giant. One of the area’s biggest draws is its location. “You are 25 minutes from the Delaware state line, 45 minutes from Maryland and 20 minutes from New Jersey. It’s great proximity to employment (in those areas),” says John McAleer with Keller Williams Main Line – Ardmore. McAleer has been selling homes on the Main Line for 17 years.
Located just 9 miles from Center City, Ardmore is home to over 250 retailers and restaurants.

Densely packed historic homes
New construction is limited in the community because McAleer says there are few open parcels to build on. “This is a dense community with lots of semi-detached colonial homes,” says McAleer. “Most of the area was built between 1925 and 1935. The homes that are older than that are mostly Victorians. The homes are some of the lowest priced on the Main Line.” The median housing price in Ardmore is around $480,000, slightly above the national median but significantly below nearby Malvern.
Although the lots tend to be small, roughly 2,600 square feet, McAleer says other local amenities make up for it. “Small lots, big parks.” The CAP Index crime score for the community is 3 out of 10, which is lower than the national score of 4.

Enjoying Ardmore's parks
With more than 30 parks in Haverford Township, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. There are traditional parks, dog parks and skate parks in the township. “Haverford Township has one of the best park systems in Pennsylvania,” he says. Merwood Park is a popular local park with a basketball court, two ball fields and a playground. Cobbs Creek also runs through the park, which adds to the scenery. Linwood Park is a little green place where residents can relax or walk. The facility is also used for a variety of local activities. Normandy Park also includes a large open area, numerous trees, picnic tables and horseshoe pits. Ardmore can be very hilly, especially in the northern section of the community, but the residential areas are full of trees and greenery.
