Growing suburban township in Montgomery County
While Upper Dublin Township began as an agricultural community dominated by farmland and open space, the township is now a burgeoning residential suburb where sidewalk-lined streets sit alongside lush parks and shopping centers. “Upper Dublin is known for its park system and its school district. It's been known to draw people for that,” says Daniel Caparo, a Realtor with Exp Realty and a lifelong resident of Montgomery County. Located in eastern Montgomery County, the township includes portions of several communities: Abington, Ambler, Ardsley, Dresher, Fort Washington, Jarrettown, Maple Glen, North Hills, Oreland and Willow Grove. With access to major thoroughfares such as the Pennsylvania Turnpike and Pennsylvania Route 309, Upper Dublin offers comfortable suburban living with proximity to the urban amenities of Philadelphia.

Single-family homes, townhouses and new construction
Mature trees shade residential streets, where homebuyers will find a mix of single-family homes with manicured lawns that average just under half an acre. Traditional Colonial Revivals, Cape Cods and ranch-style homes date back to the mid-1900s, while custom-built estates embrace elements of French Country or Victorian-style design. Prices for single-family homes range from around $400,000 for a smaller ranch-style house to $1.2 million for a custom-built property. Townhouses can be found in established developments to new construction communities like Mattison Estate, where units feature open floorplans and modern appliances. Townhouses sell for anywhere from $350,000 for an older unit to $1 million for new construction. “There’s been a lot of development in Dresher,” Caparo says. “It’s unbelievable how prices have elevated with these million-dollar townhouses and single-family homes” Several tributaries of Wissahickon Creek run through Upper Dublin, and the township has historically been susceptible to flooding caused by river or stream overflows due to heavy rainfall. In January 2024, the township was rewarded $300,000 by the Watershed Restoration and Protection Program to help fund the Willow Manor Drainage project, which aims to alleviate flooding by addressing stream bank erosion issues.
