About
Bon Air is one of the original named communities within what is now Haverford Township — it retained that identity on maps and in local use until January 1, 1946, when the U.S. Post Office coined the umbrella ‘Havertown’ mailing address. Unlike the adjacent planned tract developments of Llanerch and Beechwood, Bon Air grew organically: a 1914 auction notice marketed individual lots for small farmette-style living, not a builder-platted subdivision. The Bon Air Civic Association dates to 1918, when 22 residents formed it on the southwest corner of the township — five years before the Association purchased the community lot on Royal Avenue that still anchors the Bon Air Fire Company (Company #4 in Haverford Township’s Bureau of Fire). Residential construction spans from 1930-era detached Colonials and Cape Cods through mid-century infill into the 1960s and 1970s, with scattered contemporary homes rounding out the stock. Students attend Manoa Elementary School (K–5), Haverford Middle School, and Haverford Senior High School, all within the School District of Haverford Township.

What Makes This Distinct
Bon Air’s all-time appreciation index classifies the community as a mid-range, limited-activity underperformer relative to the broader Haverford Township school district — sellers have historically captured modest gains and properties have required extended marketing windows, making it a community where patient buyers may find room to negotiate. Buyers should also independently verify proximity to the Havertown PCP Superfund site on Eagle Road, which has been under active EPA remediation since the 1980s; approximately 26,000 people live within one mile of the site, though residents are on public water supply rather than groundwater.
