Vintage retail surrounded by classic suburbia
In the desirable community of Glenside, quiet and shaded residential streets surround a classic and walkable downtown area. “The business district is like a little old-fashioned village,” says Etta Norton, a local of the neighboring Abington and 30-year Realtor with Quinn & Wilson. “There’s a variety of restaurants, antique stores and flower shops.” Young families are drawn to this neighborhood for its top-rated public schools and trendy eateries, while an older crowd also finds Glenside an attractive place to live due in part to its charming and nostalgic storefronts. Residents have their choice of both dining and architectural housing styles in this quintessential suburbia. “It really is a close-knit community full of real, actual neighborhoods,” Norton says.

Mature dogwood and white pine trees line the sidewalks that wrap through the residential sections of Glenside, where homes offer both driveways and street parking. “You’ll rarely find a street where all the houses are the same,” Norton says. “It’s more or less a conglomerate of different styles and eclectic non-cookie-cutter homes.” Typical styles include Foursquares, colonials and Cape Cods built in the midcentury, some that were originally built even earlier maintain their historic elements. These homes, depending on their renovations and sizes that range from 1,000 to 2,000 square feet, are priced between $250,000 and $600,000. Larger American Foursquares, Colonial Revivals and New Traditionals that offer from 2,500 to 3,500 square feet of space are priced to match, from $600,000 to $1 million.

Eateries and nostalgia on Easton Road
Downtown Glenside features both vintage storefronts and new-age breweries and performance venues, mainly along Glenside Avenue and Easton Road. While there are several cuisines to choose from, some local favorites include upscale Chinese at Jasmine Asian Bistro and authentic Greek at Elia. The Village Diner serves American breakfast, and Trios Tomato Pie offers the Italian classics. Diners might grab a bite and a brew at The Ways before catching some live music next door at The Royal. West on the avenue is Primex Garden Center, a popular spot for greenthumbs and amateur planters. “Also in the center of town is a little old-fashioned grocery store called O’Neill’s Market,” Norton says. “It has a nostalgic feeling, and a lot of kids like to walk there to pick up milk or a deli sandwich for lunch.” Bigger grocery stores nearby include Produce Junction, and just south of Glenside is a shopping center with a Target.
