Founded in 1743 and named after a former flouring mill where early settlers came to to have their wheat ground by the millers, Flourtown is a peaceful community that manages to retain its small-town feel. "It really has that small-town feel," remarks Patricia Billock, a resident and Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices. The welcoming, family-oriented vibe is what makes this place so special to the locals. Flourtown is roughly 15 miles outside of Philadelphia’s Center City. Attendees of annual events like James A. Cisco Park's Concerts in the Park, a summer concert series held at the park's gazebo beside the pond, are a great example of the welcoming atmosphere and sense of community. The water is fully stocked by Springfield Township, so don’t forget the fishing rod. Playground equipment and open areas abound in the 13-acre park, making it ideal for children to run around and play. Billock says, "You'll see little neighborhoods around throwing block parties every now and then as well." This is in addition to the summer concert series.

Homes

A variety of single-family residences can be seen on the suburban blocks of Flourtown. "You have some newer homes, many single-family's from the 1950s and even some that date back to the 1700s," remarks Billock, who notes a wide range of house types. “I just made a sale of an item that belonged to the Underground Railroad.” Beautiful tree-lined sidewalks lead you through Flourtown's leafy residential districts, where you can see a mix of colonials, Dutch colonials and Cape Cods. Some of the colonial homes are from the Colonial period. Most dwellings are 2,000 square feet and sit on 12,200 square foot lots. Homes in Flourtown range in price from $352,000 to $1.1 million. Realtor Jennifer Rinella of BHHS Fox & Roach Chestnut Hill says that some homes will cost as much as $2 million. She adds that being close to New York City, Baltimore, and Washington, D.C., is advantageous. “It doesn’t cost as much to live here as it does there,” she says. “Nobody really knows about this neighborhood. It has a “Chestnut Hill, Pa. on Old Town Alexandria, Va. vibe.” She adds that the neighborhood does have an HOA.

Schools

Enfield Elementary School is where students attend kindergarten through first grade, with a B-plus Niche grade. Erdenheim Elementary School is where students attend second through fifth grade. This school has an A-minus rating. Springfield Township Middle School, an A-minus-rated school, is where sixth graders go before continuing on to Springfield Township High School. Among all 100 high schools in the state, this one ranks 100th and receives an A-grade from Niche. High school students can obtain college credit through Penn State and Montgomery County Community College through a block scheduling system. Mount Saint Joseph Academy, more often known as "The Mount," is also located in Flourtown. Niche has given the all-female Catholic Prep school an A+ grade. Additionally, it has an engaging STEM program and follows a college-style block schedule.

Parks

Springfield Little League meets after school at Bysher Fields Park for baseball and softball games. The fields are also open to the public at non-game times. Additionally, Flourtown Swim Club provides summer programs and swim teams for kids and teens, making it a popular spot for people to cool off on hot summer days. “It’s a young, active area,” says Rinella.

Shopping and Dining

The Philadelphia area is known for its vibrant food scene. Numerous eateries along Bethlehem Pike are perfect for a night out on the town. In 1986, the Flourtown Farmers Market first opened its doors to the public. It has a plethora of vendors selling food, from Smell The Curry, serving Indian cuisine, to Da Corner Deli, selling Philly-style sandwiches, to Bablouie BBQ, selling smoked meats. Additionally, many people love to eat at Hallagan's Pub. For decades, guests have been welcomed with traditional pub meals and TVs to watch Philadelphia sports at this family-run Irish tavern. Famous for its Italian fare, Scoogis is another eatery worth checking out. On the other hand, El Limon has a vibrant environment and delicious Mexican food. Halligan’s Pub is an Irish pub that serves American comfort food for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Events

Flourtown is roughly 15 miles outside of Philadelphia’s Center City. Attendees of annual events like James A. Cisco Park's Concerts in the Park, a summer concert series held at the park's gazebo beside the pond, are a great example of the welcoming atmosphere and sense of community.

Transportation

According to SEPTA, bus services along Bethlehem Pike serve Flourtown. The Chestnut Hill Station is just one of several neighboring stations that are easily accessible by train. It will take approximately forty minutes to reach Center City, Philadelphia, by train. The city is also accessible by the 17-mile Fort Washington Expressway.
