Your guide to housing options and what drives a competitive market
Cedarbrook has the kind of tidy, sidewalk-lined blocks you’ll find in many Philly neighborhoods. It offers plenty of brick and stone rowhomes, plus a few streets of semi-detached twin homes. Single-family homes are less common here, but you’ll occasionally spot a Cape Cod or ranch-style build, though they rarely hit the market.
Most of the housing was built in the early to mid-20th century, yet local Realtor Sonja Wayns says the neighborhood’s homes are still in strong condition. “A lot of them have been renovated. It is a competitive market because people know they will get their money’s worth here. The inventory is quite limited,” she explains. That tight supply also reflects how long neighbors tend to stay. As Wayns puts it, “It is a family-based neighborhood of several diverse cultures. The people who live here make Cedarbrook what it is, especially the long-term owners who show such pride in their homes.”
Many Cedarbrook homes have small grassy front yards set back from the street.
Stone rowhomes are one of Cedarbrook's signature housing options.

Cedarbrook home prices and how they compare to other communities
Cedarbrook’s median sale price is in the upper $200,000s. That’s a bit lower than in East Mount Airy, but slightly higher than in West Oak Lane. Hop over the city line into Montgomery County, and you’ll see prices climb higher in places like Wyndmoor, Glenside and Wyncote. Most rowhomes and twins in Cedarbrook sell from the mid-$200,000s to the lower $400,000s, while the occasional single-family home can land anywhere from the mid-$400,000s to the mid-$500,000s. If you have a car, you’ll appreciate that many homes come with rear-facing garages or driveways tucked under back porches.
