About
Ardmore Park—also locally referenced as South Ardmore—is a Haverford Township neighborhood in Delaware County, platted in 1909 as part of the same transit-corridor wave that produced Llanerch and Brookline. The neighborhood is bounded by Ardmore Avenue, Haverford Road, Wynnewood Road, and East County Line Road, and its housing stock consists predominantly of twin/semi-detached homes built largely from the 1920s through the late 1930s. Residents are served by Chestnutwold Elementary School (rated among the top 11% of Pennsylvania elementary schools by SchoolDigger), and the neighborhood’s civic life is organized through the South Ardmore Betterment Alliance (SABA), a Pennsylvania nonprofit that coordinates annual events, park improvement projects at Normandy Park, and creek cleanups along Pont Reading Creek.
Specifications
Home Stock
The neighborhood is dominated by twin/semi-detached homes—a structure type accounting for the overwhelming share of recent public records settlements—alongside a smaller number of detached singles. The subdivision was platted in 1909 as part of Haverford Township’s early 20th-century transit-corridor development. Public sales data records an average year built of 1938, and NeighborhoodScout characterizes most housing stock as built no later than 1939. Individual recorded properties on Humphreys Road and Morris Road confirm build years in the 1920s, consistent with the subdivision’s 1909 plat and the post-trolley building boom that followed the 1902 Ardmore line extension.
Location & Access
The neighborhood is generally bounded by Ardmore Avenue (west), Haverford Road (south), Wynnewood Road (east), and East County Line Road (north). Internal streets include Georges Lane, Hazelwood Road, Humphreys Road, Morris Road, Normandy Road, Oakford Road, and others.

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 count of homes specifically within the Ardmore Park subdivision boundary found. The broader Ardmore CDP contains over 5,000 homes per Homes.com, but no source isolates the Ardmore Park sub-neighborhood count.
- Builder — No single builder identified. Livingplaces.com confirms the subdivision was platted in 1909 and developed organically over several decades, consistent with no single builder.
- Interior Sqft Range Text — The Livingplaces.com figure (under 1,000 to over 3,000 sq ft) applies to the broader Lower Merion Ardmore neighborhood, not specifically the Haverford Township Ardmore Park. Individual public records confirm 1,182–1,859 sq ft for twin homes but a full verified range for Ardmore Park specifically is not available from a single authoritative source.
- Years Built Notes (Legacy Hint: ‘built Around 1914’) — The legacy hint of ‘circa 1914’ could not be specifically verified for Ardmore Park (Haverford Township). The subdivision was platted in 1909 per Livingplaces.com, and most homes appear to have been built in the 1920s–1930s based on public sales data (avg year built 1938) and NeighborhoodScout (most stock pre-1939). A 1914 build date for specific early homes is plausible but not verified by a named source. Flagged as possible but unconfirmed.
- Flood Plain Status — SABA about page notes historic flooding issues on Oakford and St. Marys related to Pont Reading Creek watershed. FEMA flood zone status for specific parcels was not verified. Buyers should check FEMA flood maps for individual addresses.
- Hoa Name — No HOA found in public records or via web search. SABA is a voluntary civic association, not a fee-enforcing HOA. Confirmed no mandatory HOA.
School District
Ardmore Park is served by the Haverford Township School District. Buyers should verify current school assignments directly with the district.
