Forested suburban sprawl close to shopping centers and transit

Wide suburban streets and top-rated schools define the landscape of Morton. Local homes are a short distance from community amenities, major thoroughfares and public transit. “You have easy access to shopping and transportation. It’s quiet and the houses are very well kept,” says Bill Haburcak, a real estate broker at Premier Property Sales & Rentals with over 15 years of experience.

Spacious homes on wide streets

Residents live along forested suburban streets in various home styles, all within a short bike or car ride to parks and schools. “It’s got everything people would look for in the suburbs,” says Bill Haburcak, real estate broker at Crest Real Estate. Morton’s residential landscape features Colonial-style homes from the early to mid-1900s, along with Cape Cods, twins and townhomes. Kids play on wide streets while joggers and cyclists travel on sidewalks fringed by tall pines and cherry trees. Home prices range from $170,000 for a modest twin home to as much as $710,000 for a larger contemporary house.

Top marks and new facilities for Springfield School Districts

Since there are no public schools in Morton, students are split between Springfield and Ridley School Districts, which are both highly rated. Students begin their academic careers at primary schools such as Amosland Elementary. This school has an overall B-rating on Niche and teaches from kindergarten through fifth grade. Students move on to intermediate and secondary institutions such as Strath Haven Middle and Springfield High School. Local realtor Bill Haburcak says, “Springfield just built a new high school, which draws a lot of attention. It has a really good reputation for academics and nice facilities.” The new Springfield High School was completed in 2020, featuring a college and career academy that provides students with a head start in business, STEM, humanities and liberal arts career fields.

Amosland Elementary School has 435 students in grades K-5.

Take the train from Morton Station

While joggers and cyclists can get around the suburbs, most residents depend on cars and trucks to get around. Commuters head to Morton Station, a historic train station that is now a part of the SEPTA Regional Railway, providing transport to Center City Philadelphia, about 12 miles away. Sprawling suburban landscapes and commercial amenities make Morton a worthy place to call home.
