Maple Glen is a peaceful community about 22 miles from Center City
Quiet and slow-paced is just how residents of Maple Glen like it. “I’ve been living here for more than 20 years,” says real estate agent Diane Sarkisian with RE/MAX, “We have so much foliage and landscaping. It’s just a beautiful place to be.” This Montgomery County suburb gives locals a peaceful place to call home. However, if you’d like to visit Center City, it’s about 22 miles away, so you’re not too far, whether you plan to travel for work or a leisurely day out in the city.
Mansions, ranch-style homes and townhouses fill the area
As a mostly residential neighborhood, Maple Glen is laid out with several housing developments in a serene, leafy environment. Beautiful mansions from the early 2000s offer spacious yards for gardens with more than 5,000 square feet of living space. If you don’t need that much room, Maple Glen is full of single family homes with a variety of architectural styles from the mid-1900s, including ranch-style houses, split-levels and Colonial Revivals. If you don’t mind the closeness, you can enjoy living in a newer townhouse as well. Developments feature a mix of two-to-three story townhomes with cozy back decks, attached garages and extra parking spaces for guests.
A mansion in Maple Glen costs $950,000 to $1.5 million. If you’re looking to settle down in a smaller single family home, you can expect to pay between $490,000 and $900,000. Meanwhile, townhouses range from about $370,000 to $620,000.
Parks branch off the Horsham Power Line Trail
When you want some fresh air, walk or bike under the wires along the 5-mile Horsham Power Line Trail. Along the trail, kids can play on the playground at Jarrett Park or in the wide-open grassy field while you relax in the gazebo. Williams Park is another great option, which also features a big field with lots of trees and benches, perfect for picnics and play time for dogs.
Pet stores, groceries and local restaurants are in Maple Glen
For those with pets, Maple Glen is home to one of the region’s most popular local pet stores, Dogs & Cats Rule, which has been serving the community since 2001. It’s located in the town’s one shopping center on Welsh Road, where you can get groceries from Giant. While this may be a small town, it certainly doesn’t lack dining options. With nearly a dozen restaurants, you can enjoy Maple Glen’s multicultural dining experience, whether you’re in the mood for a gyro from Grilliant Greek Rotisserie, Asian specialties from Rice & Curry or casual pub grub from Brick & Barrel, you have plenty of options to satisfy just about any craving.
Students attend well-rated Upper Dublen and Hatboro-Horsham schools
Welsh Road is the dividing line between the Upper Dublin School District on the south side and Hatboro-Horsham School District on the north side. The former earns an A-plus, while the latter has a B-plus, according to Niche. Students in the Hatboro-Horsham School District may attend the A-minus-rated Simmons Elementary School, conveniently located in the neighborhood. Keith Valley Middle and Hatboro-Horsham High both earn a B-plus. Those who wish to pursue post-secondary education can stay in the neighborhood by attending Temple University Ambler Campus, which allows students to earn a degree from Temple in a beautiful suburban campus away from the city.
