Elkins Park is a journey through American architectural history
Elkins Park's residential landscape is a journey through America's diverse and varied architecture. Its historic homes include the Elkins Estate, a 42-acre property with several manor homes built in Italianate and Tudor-revival styles. These home styles and others are reflected across Elkins Park's streetscape. The half-timber storybook quality of Tudor-revival homes sits next door to simple American and Dutch colonial homes and spacious ranch-style houses. Among the varied architecture, standard single-family home amenities include ample outdoor space, street or driveway parking and spacious interiors. "Homeowners get really nice lots with their property, good for the price, nice and private," says local realtor Seth Govan. Residents also live in twin homes, townhouses and condominium complexes. Prices for Elkins Park vary depending on factors such as the size and age of the property. Condos and townhouses range from $100,000 for a 1,000-square-foot condo to $589,000 for a 3,800-square-foot townhome. Elkins Park's single-family houses and estates have a much broader price range. A mid-size ranch-style home on a third of an acre costs around $400,000 to $600,000 dollars. Larger houses and estates with anywhere from one to three acres of land cost between $800,000 and $2.3 million dollars.

The park also features a rain garden, a raised walkway and a bird observation deck. Local athletes can run the soccer field or play on the tennis courts at Ogontz Park, just across High School Road.
