What Makes This Distinct

Worth Asking

Common Questions
What school district serves Scots Glen in Wallingford, PA?
Scots Glen is located within the Wallingford-Swarthmore School District, not the Rose Tree Media School District. Nether Providence Elementary School (grades K–5), which the district documents as within walking distance of much of the neighborhood, is the typical elementary assignment for Scots Glen addresses, with Strath Haven Middle School and Strath Haven High School serving upper grades. Because the district assigns students by address across two elementary attendance zones, buyers should confirm the specific elementary school assignment for any property directly with the district registrar at 610-892-3470.
Is there a homeowners association (HOA) in Scots Glen?
No named mandatory HOA has been identified for Scots Glen in public records or public sales data. Multiple listing records filed under the Scots Glen subdivision confirm no HOA fee. That said, individual parcels may carry recorded deed restrictions or private covenants from the original development era. Buyers should have a title company review the chain of title for any specific property before closing.
What are the commuting options from Scots Glen to Philadelphia?
The Wallingford Station on SEPTA’s Media/Wawa Regional Rail Line is located at 141 E. Possum Hollow Road, within the broader Wallingford community. That line runs directly to Center City Philadelphia stations including Suburban Station and Jefferson Station. Wallingford is documented as approximately 30 minutes from Center City by rail and approximately 9 miles from Philadelphia. Interstate 476 (the Blue Route) runs along the eastern edge of Nether Providence Township and provides highway access. Buyers should verify specific drive times and rail schedules at septa.org for their address.
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 total homes in Scots Glen could be identified from any named public source. The subdivision boundary is defined but total parcel count has not been confirmed.
- Builder — No single builder or developer for Scots Glen has been identified in any named source. Homes appear to have been developed across multiple builders during the 1950s–1960s.
- Interior Sqft Range Text — The 1,400–3,811 sq ft range comes from neighborhoods.com, an aggregator of uncertain methodology. Individual verified public records examples fall between 1,511 and 2,724 sq ft. A comprehensive public records pull would sharpen this range.
- Most Common Elementary — Zillow and the district website both indicate Nether Providence Elementary as the typical assignment for Scots Glen addresses, but the district explicitly states assignments are address-specific. Wallingford Elementary is the other possible assignment within the district. Buyers must confirm with the registrar.
- Appreciation Range Text — No 33-year appreciation index data was provided in the structural input, and no verifiable third-party appreciation range specific to Scots Glen was found.
- Hoa Name — No named HOA identified in public records or public documents. Multiple public records confirm ‘Has HOA fee: No.’ Legacy hint and public sales data agree on no mandatory HOA, but deed-level covenants have not been reviewed.
