Without a map, it’s hard to imagine that the slow-paced suburb of Lower Moreland Township is tucked right next to the bustling city of Philadelphia. This small town is also far from the typical cookie-cutter suburb, “The cool thing about Lower Moreland, as a whole, is it’s not all tract homes, and there’s a great architectural diversity,” says Frank Blumenthal, local Realtor with Keller Williams Real Estate Tri-County who has nearly 20 years of experience in the area. Lower Moreland Township also excels in preserving green spaces for public use. Apart from eclectic homes and highly rated schools, this leafy Montgomery County community offers a laid-back lifestyle and commuter rails that make it easy to enjoy all that Center City offers 20 miles away.

Historic colonials and Colonial Revivals are a common sight, ranging in price from $600,000 to $900,000, and New Traditionals are often priced from $900,000 to over $1 million.

A-rated schools in Lower Moreland
Students in the community may attend A-rated schools within the Lower Moreland Township School District. Younger students can start at Pine Road Elementary and Murray Avenue School. Lower Moreland High School has over a 50% Advanced Placement participation rate. “I’ve never seen a place like this where people you grew up with and went to high school with all come back to live here and raise their families,” says Bluementhal, a former Lower Moreland High School graduate. “[The schools] are 1,000 percent why many people move here.” Bryn Athyn, an independent borough formed for religious reasons, is next door. This borough is also home to Bryn Athyn College, a small private liberal arts college founded in 1877. Across from the campus is the Bryn Athyn Cathedral, which stands out with its stately Gothic and Romanesque architecture and colorful hand-blown stained-glass windows.
