A Philly suburb with a touch of charm
Broomall offers residents the comforts of suburban living amidst a touch of historic charm. This community of 11,000 is 10 miles from downtown Philadelphia, making it far enough from the city to enjoy peace and quiet but close enough to access urban conveniences. “Broomall is a beautiful area that is very family oriented, with good schools and lots of shopping,” says Debbie Disciascio, a Realtor with Long & Foster who has been selling homes in the area for 20 years. “And, Broomall has the lowest tax bracket in Delaware County.”
Broomall was originally part of Marple Township, which was settled in 1684. As the town grew, so did the need for a second mail station. The Broomall Post Office was built in 1870, creating the new community. Traces of the community’s 340-year colonial history can be seen at the Thomas Massey House, one of the oldest English Quaker homes in the state. The historic building, circa 1696, is a beloved landmark.
