About

San Francisco East is a condominium-style townhome community in Springfield Township (Delaware County), built beginning in 1973 and continuing through the mid-to-late 1970s, with street addresses on Cable Hill Drive, Embarcadero Court, Monterey Court, and San Rafael Court. Units are two-bedroom, two-story townhomes ranging from approximately 1,216 to 1,456 square feet — none with basements or attached garages — and the community association maintains a shared outdoor swimming pool with a lifeguard on duty during summer months. The HOA fee structure covers water, sewer, trash, exterior building maintenance, and pool access, making the monthly cost of ownership more predictable than in a typical fee-simple single-family purchase. The community is served by the Marple Newtown School District and sits within minutes of I-476, Route 1, and I-95.

What Makes This Distinct

The HOA’s inclusion of gas heat, water, sewer, and exterior building maintenance in the monthly fee compresses the range of out-of-pocket ownership costs but also means buyers cannot opt out of those services — a factor that directly affects mortgage debt-to-income calculations and long-run resale comparability within the district.
