About
Colonial Park is a post-World War II subdivision in Springfield Township, Delaware County, platted along Colonial Park Drive and developed primarily in the early-to-mid 1950s. The stock consists entirely of detached single-family homes — predominantly two-story brick colonials on lots of roughly 8,000 to 8,600 square feet — with a number of properties backing directly to Ellson Glen Park, an 18.6-acre Springfield Township public park whose legal boundary originates at Colonial Park Drive. The subdivision carries no homeowners association, meaning exterior change decisions rest entirely with individual owners and the township’s zoning ordinance, not a governing HOA document.
Specifications
Home Stock
The dominant structure is the detached brick colonial built in the early-to-mid 1950s: two stories, three bedrooms, traditional floor plan with formal living and dining rooms, hardwood floors, and a covered front porch. Cape Cods also appear in the mix. Many homes have been expanded with rear family room additions and finished basements. Public sewer and natural gas service are standard.
Location & Access
Colonial Park Drive is the primary internal street, accessed from East Springfield Road. Route 320 (Sproul Road) runs north-south through western Springfield Township; I-476 (Blue Route) is accessible via Exit 3 (Baltimore Pike) and Exit 5 (US Route 1). The SEPTA Media/Wawa Regional Rail Line serves the broader township, with the Morton-Rutledge and Swarthmore stations within the surrounding area.
Location Anchors
What Makes This Distinct
Colonial Park’s long-run appreciation pattern — sellers have averaged roughly double their original purchase price over the 33-year index — tracks in line with the broader Springfield School District average, suggesting the subdivision performs as a reliable mid-range hold rather than an outlier on either end of the district’s value spectrum.

Worth Asking
Have you considered what it means for your resale exposure that Colonial Park carries no HOA — because without architectural control covenants, a neighbor’s exterior renovation or addition requires no community review, and buyers relying on neighborhood consistency as a value anchor may want to walk the block before committing?

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 recorded plat map or township document was found listing the total number of lots in the Colonial Park subdivision. Street address lists from Xome show addresses on Colonial Park Drive extending into the 400s, suggesting a sizable street, but a verified lot count could not be established without recorded plat data.
- Builder — No single builder or developer has been identified in public records, public sales data, or historical sources. Construction years across multiple properties (1952, 1953, 1955) suggest organic lot-by-lot development typical of post-war Springfield Township rather than a single-builder tract.
- Hoa Name — No HOA entity was found for Colonial Park in Springfield Township, Delaware County. The colonialpark-hoa.org website is a Maryland HOA (Severn, Anne Arundel County) — an entirely different community with the same name. Public records consistently show HOA as ‘No.’ This is confirmed null, not a gap in research.
- Most Common Elementary — Public records structural data input leaves this blank. Springfield School District operates multiple elementary schools (Sabold, Scenic Hills, and others). The specific elementary serving Colonial Park addresses could not be confirmed without district boundary maps. Buyers should verify directly with the district.
