Charming community with a rich history
Havertown is a leafy suburban neighborhood brimming with parks and historic buildings. Located in Haverford Township, the rich history of this unincorporated community began with its 1681 founding. Many homes and other structures dating from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries still stand, blending in nicely with newer buildings. “People love the neighborhood,” says Realtor Lori Rufo of Keller Williams Main Line-Ardmore, who has lived in the area her entire life. “There’s such a sense of community here. And it’s so walkable. There’s a walking trail and a bike path. People walk to restaurants, and kids can walk to school. Everyone looks after each other, and we have a wonderful police department.” Havertown has a low CAP Index crime score of 2/10.
Built around 1700, Lawrence Cabin is the oldest surviving free-standing building in Havertown.
Darby Creek Trail is a popular walking and biking path accessible from Merry Place in Havertown.

Homes of all shapes and sizes
Homes in Havertown sit on quiet, tree-lined streets. Sidewalks take joggers and dogwalkers past well-tended lawns and private driveways. The community primarily consists of single-family houses of all shapes and sizes, from Cape Cods to bungalows and three-story Dutch Colonials. “We have old and new homes with a lot of charm and character. There are some very stately homes here as well. It’s a mixed bag,” says Rufo. Single-family homes typically start at around $400,000, with some new construction costing up to $1 million. Those who prefer condominium and townhome living can expect to pay between $150,000 and $400,000.
