About
Pilgrim Gardens is a mid-century detached single-family neighborhood within Haverford Township, Delaware County, carrying the Drexel Hill mailing address and ZIP 19026. The community takes its name from the Pilgrim Construction Company, which built several of the homes during a post-World War II development wave that represented, according to local historian research at iliveinharford.com, the final major residential build-out of Haverford Township. Homes were constructed primarily in the 1940s and 1950s on lots bounded by Burmont Road, Township Line Road, and Darby Creek, with the Pilgrim Gardens Shopping Center — a retail center on Township Line Road documented as a Haverford Township commercial anchor — situated at the neighborhood’s northern edge.

What Makes This Distinct
Darby Creek forms the southern and western boundary of Pilgrim Gardens; the Delaware County Conservation District has documented repeated flooding events along the Darby watershed, and the creek’s documented tendency to flood periodically is a structural factor buyers with creek-adjacent lots should verify on FEMA flood maps before proceeding.
