About
Woodmere — marketed under the name Woodmere Park — is a post-World War II detached single-family neighborhood in Haverford Township, Delaware County, built on the former 104-acre Brookline Square Club Golf Course. The golf course land was sold to the Conway Corporation, reclaimed through foreclosure in 1930, and later redeveloped by two unnamed developers into the residential streets that stand today, with most homes dating to the late 1940s through early 1950s. The neighborhood sits between Darby Road to the south and Mill Road to the east — two of the oldest roads in the state, Darby Road tracing its origins to 1687 — and feeds into the Haverford Township School District, with Chestnutwold Elementary School serving as the most common elementary assignment.

What Makes This Distinct

Worth Asking
Have you considered that the Havertown PCP Superfund site — an active groundwater remediation project at 900 North Eagle Road, just off the same corridor used to enter Woodmere — has no defined boundary limit, and that EPA documentation notes contamination extending into surrounding residential and commercial properties, meaning your due diligence should include a review of the current five-year report and any vapor intrusion testing records for the specific parcel you’re purchasing?
Common Questions
What is the history behind the Woodmere neighborhood in Havertown?
Woodmere, also commonly called Woodmere Park, occupies the site of the former Brookline Square Club — a 104-acre golf course on Mill Road that operated beginning in 1925. The course land was sold to the Conway Corporation, foreclosed in 1930, and subsequently purchased by two developers who built the residential community now known as Woodmere Park. Haverford Township’s official history confirms that part of the Brookline Square Club land was used for Haverford High School’s athletic fields, while the residential section became Woodmere. Most homes date to the late 1940s through early 1950s, placing the neighborhood squarely in Haverford Township’s post-World War II suburban growth wave.
Which school serves Woodmere, and how does it perform?
Elementary-aged children in Woodmere most commonly attend Chestnutwold Elementary School, a K-5 public school located at 630 Loraine Street in Ardmore and part of the Haverford Township School District. Chestnutwold earned the designation of 2019 National School of Character. The school district itself is ranked 19th out of 610 Pennsylvania school districts by SchoolDigger. In the 2023–2024 school year, 82.4% of Chestnutwold students were proficient or better in English Language Arts, compared to a Pennsylvania state average of 53%. School boundary assignments can change; buyers should confirm current attendance zones directly with the School District of Haverford Township before purchase.
Is there an HOA in Woodmere, and what are the deed restrictions?
No active homeowners association has been identified for Woodmere. Public records contain no HOA flag for this neighborhood, and no registered HOA entity for Woodmere Park in Haverford Township appears in publicly available records. As a post-WWII organic development — not a master-planned community — individual deed restrictions, if any, would date to the original subdivision plats recorded in Delaware County. Buyers should request a title search and review any recorded covenants through the Delaware County Recorder of Deeds prior to settlement.
Items to Verify with Your Agent
A few specifics on this page are sourced from secondary aggregators or older filings. Confirm before relying:
- Approx Homes — No reliable source provides a total home count for Woodmere/Woodmere Park as a defined subdivision. Nextdoor lists 4,706 residents for a broader ‘Woodmere Park’ census area, which likely encompasses more than the public records-defined Woodmere neighborhood. No home count was fabricated.
- Builder — Historical sources confirm the development was built by ‘two developers’ after foreclosure sale of the Brookline Square Club land, but no builder name is identified in any available public record. Left null per instructions.
- Hoa Name — No HOA found in public records, public HOA directories, or web search. No Woodmere Park homeowners association is registered or publicly documented in Haverford Township. The ‘Woodmere Lakes HOA’ found in search results is a Florida community — unrelated.
- Superfund Proximity Distance — The Havertown PCP Superfund site at 900 North Eagle Road is in the same ZIP code (19083) and shares the Eagle Road corridor with Woodmere’s primary access route, but a precise parcel-level distance was not established. Buyers should perform site-specific due diligence. EPA’s own documentation states contamination has ‘no distinct boundaries’ and extends into surrounding residential properties.
- Avg Year Built — MI tool reports avg_year_built of 1945; LivingPlaces describes the neighborhood as ‘circa 1951’; individual property records show 1950 builds. The 1945 figure may reflect the earliest construction phases or data from a broader parcel set. Not flagged as anomalous but noted as slightly earlier than primary documentary sources suggest.
School District
Woodmere is served by the Haverford Township School District. Buyers should verify current school assignments directly with the district.
