About
Oakmont is an unincorporated neighborhood in Haverford Township, Delaware County, bounded by Campbell Avenue, Winton Avenue, East Marthart Avenue, and Darby Road. It was planned by A. E. Mueller and Co. in the 1920s — the same firm that developed the adjacent Brookline neighborhood in 1907 — and was marketed explicitly as a commuter suburb served by the Ardmore Line trolley on Darby Road. The former rail corridor through the neighborhood was abandoned in 1981 and has since been converted into the Pennsy Trail, a paved rails-to-trails path that connects Oakmont to Brookline and Llanerch within Haverford Township’s Circuit Trails network.
Specifications
Home Stock
The neighborhood is a mix of detached single-family homes and twin (semi-detached) residences, with Dutch Colonials, stone Cape Cods, and other early 20th-century vernacular styles documented in active listings. The stock was built primarily from the 1920s through the 1940s, with a median construction date around 1935.
Location & Access
Eagle Road is the primary east-west cross street, historically laid along a path established circa 1696 for the Old Haverford Friends Meetinghouse. Darby Road forms the southern boundary of the neighborhood. West Chester Pike is accessible nearby to the south via Darby Road. SEPTA bus route 103 runs along the former Ardmore Line trolley right-of-way.

Worth Asking

Common Questions
What school district serves Oakmont, and which elementary school would my children attend?
Oakmont is served by the School District of Haverford Township, which operates one high school, one middle school, and five elementary schools across the township. The former Oakmont Elementary School no longer serves students — it was converted into the district’s administration building. Elementary school assignments for Oakmont addresses are determined by the district based on current attendance boundaries; buyers should confirm the assigned elementary school directly with the district at (610) 853-5900 before making a purchase decision, as boundaries can change.
Is there an HOA in Oakmont, and what restrictions apply to properties here?
No homeowners association has been identified for the Oakmont neighborhood of Haverford Township. Public records for properties on Oakmont Avenue confirm no HOA fee. Properties in the neighborhood are subject to Haverford Township zoning ordinances rather than private HOA covenants. Buyers should verify with a title search and the Haverford Township offices at 1014 Darby Road whether any deed restrictions apply to a specific parcel.
How does Oakmont compare to other neighborhoods within Haverford Township’s 19083 zip code in terms of long-run market performance?
The Cyr Team’s 33-year appreciation index shows Oakmont as a mid-range, moderate-activity neighborhood that has trailed the Haverford Township School District median by roughly 27 percentage points over the full index period. Sellers have historically recovered strong nominal gains, but the gap relative to the district benchmark is a structural signal worth examining for buyers who are comparing Oakmont to higher-performing pockets within the same zip code. Have you considered whether that discount reflects temporary supply dynamics or a durable difference in buyer demand? A fiduciary conversation with an agent who tracks the district’s sub-market data can clarify which scenario applies to the specific block you are considering.
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 verified home count for the Oakmont neighborhood boundary was found in any authoritative source. Nextdoor reports 2,178 residents but that is a population figure, not a housing unit count, and the neighborhood boundary used by Nextdoor may differ from the public records boundary.
- Interior Sqft Range Text — No aggregated square footage range specific to Oakmont Haverford Township was found in a verifiable source. Individual listings suggest 1,200–2,000 sq ft is common for the era and style, but this cannot be confirmed without a systematic public records pull.
- Most Common Elementary — The former Oakmont Elementary no longer serves students; it is now the district administration building. Current elementary attendance boundaries for Oakmont addresses were not confirmed. Public sales data shows this field as blank for the last 180 days of settlements.
- Builder — A. E. Mueller and Co. was the planning/development firm in the 1920s, not a single homebuilder. No single construction firm built the majority of homes; the neighborhood grew organically across multiple decades and likely involved many individual contractors.
- West Chester Pike Proximity — Legacy hint lists West Chester Pike as a nearby road. It is accessible via Darby Road to the south but does not bound or cross the Oakmont neighborhood directly; Eagle Road and Darby Road are the primary streets within and bounding the neighborhood.
School District
Oakmont is served by the Haverford Township School District. Buyers should verify current school assignments directly with the district.
