Norwood
Located in Delaware County
Norwood is one of a cluster of communities not far from Philadelphia’s bustling streets where people come to get away from all the city’s excitement yet remain close to the city, its amenities and certain aspects of its lifestyle. Over the decades, families of one-time Philadelphians have steadily streamed southward into Delaware County. And each new wave of transplants pushes more people into places like Norwood, a close-knit suburb about 16 miles from the city. “The people who buy in Norwood are moving from the suburbs closer to Philadelphia,” says Dave Coffey, a Realtor with Keller Williams Mainline. “People know each other here. It’s a tight-knit community.”
A walk or ride around town reveals a densely populated suburb that moves at a distinctly more relaxed pace than its substantially more heavily populated cousin to the north. Norwood’s nearly 6,000 residents inhabit a mix of mostly single-family homes dating back some 50 to 60 years. You’ll find Colonials, ranch-style homes and some Cape Cods too among the rows of neat and well-maintained homes. “There’s a little something for everyone,” Coffey says.
Norwood’s median selling price is around $260,000, with homes often selling from $260,000 to $360,000 of late. Homebuyers in search of a single-family home should prepare to shell out around $300,000 or so, Coffey advises. And with fewer row homes and more single-family inventory, investment sales aren’t as active here as in some neighboring communities, which explains the steeper ratio of homeowners to renters.
Students here attend either Glenolden School or Norwood School from kindergarten through eighth grade. Then, they move on to Interboro High School. All three schools are in the Interboro School District, which has a 17 to 1 student-to-teacher ratio and has received a B-minus rating from Niche.
The high school’s student-athletes play for the Bucks. However, prior to that, they would have been Termites, the name belonging to Norwood Athletic Association teams. The association plays its home games at George A. Cassidy Field, which is located at Norwood Lower Park, the community’s main broad green space. Besides baseball diamonds, the park also has fields for soccer, basketball courts and vast spaces to relax or walk the family dog. Perhaps indoor activities are more to your liking. If so, The Skatium in nearby Havertown is the rink people around here flock to for hours of ice-skating fun.
For a nice meal away from home, chances are you’ll have to head just a short drive into neighboring communities. There is one popular spot, however, that’s a local favorite and brings neighboring townspeople here. The Erin Pub is a mainstay of Irish cooking and is beloved for its thick prime rib.
If you’re like many of the locals, there’s a good chance sports will be a dinner topic. The Phillies, Eagles and Flyers have gobs of loyalists out this way. Committed fans can easily make their way from here to into the city by SEPTA rail. Norwood has its own station, making the trip into the city easy for reaching sports events, concerts or even for a daily commute between Philadelphia and Norwood.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
