About
Havertown is an unincorporated community in Haverford Township, Delaware County, approximately nine miles west of Center City Philadelphia, whose postal identity dates only to January 1, 1946—before that, the area operated as nine distinct communities (Bon Air, Brookline, Penfield, Beechwood, Llanerch, Manoa, Oakmont, Coopertown, and Ardmore). The township itself was founded by Welsh Quakers in 1681 on land purchased from William Penn, and three properties within Havertown—the Grange Estate (a Gothic Revival mansion added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976), the Federal School, and the Lawrence Cabin—remain on that Register today. The housing stock spans early-20th-century brick Colonials and Craftsman-era twins through post-WWII Cape Cods and Dutchs; sidewalks, tree-lined streets, and the Haverford Heritage Trail provide on-foot connectivity, while SEPTA bus service and the Beechwood-Brookline station on the SEPTA Metro (formerly Norristown High Speed Line) give residents rail access to the 69th Street Transit Center and onward to Center City.

What Makes This Distinct
Havertown carries a documented environmental liability: the Havertown PCP Superfund site on Eagle Road—a former National Wood Preservers wood-treatment facility that operated from 1947 to 1991—remains on the National Priorities List; as of December 2024, the EPA is constructing a new $21.5 million water treatment plant after finding pentachlorophenol contamination in bedrock groundwater up to 400 feet deep, with institutional controls in place restricting certain land uses at the site perimeter. Buyers evaluating properties in proximity to Eagle Road and West Hillcrest Avenue should request EPA site disclosures and review the Haverford Township fact sheet before making an offer.
