About
Lynnwood is a detached-single-family subdivision in Haverford Township, Delaware County, built primarily between the 1920s and 1950s with a median structure age around 1953. The neighborhood sits between West Chester Pike to the south, Lawrence Road to the east, and North Eagle Road to the west — a triangular footprint within one of the second-most-densely-populated municipalities in Delaware County. Residents are assigned to Lynnewood Elementary School (K–5) at 1400 Lawrence Road, which carries a GreatSchools rating of 8 out of 10 and a Niche grade of A-, and feed into the broader Haverford Township School District.
Specifications
Home Stock

Interior row homes and townhouses also appear in public records transaction data.
Location & Access
West Chester Pike (Route 3), Lawrence Road, and North Eagle Road form the primary boundaries. The Haverford Area YMCA and the Pennsy Trail, which links neighborhoods to Eagle Road via a former Pennsylvania Railroad corridor, are accessible within the neighborhood’s road network.

What Makes This Distinct
Buyers should independently investigate proximity to the Havertown PCP Superfund site, located at 900 North Eagle Road — one of Lynnwood’s bounding roads — where National Wood Preservers operated a wood-treatment plant from 1947 to 1991, contaminating soil and groundwater with pentachlorophenol, dioxins, and related compounds; as of 2024, the EPA was constructing a new water treatment plant at the site after finding PCP concentrations 400 feet into deep bedrock groundwater extending south and west of the property.

Worth Asking
Have you considered requesting a Phase I environmental inquiry that specifically accounts for the Havertown PCP Superfund site on North Eagle Road — one of Lynnwood’s own boundary streets — where groundwater remediation remains active and the EPA’s 2023 assessment found contamination extending to depths of 400 feet and in directions south and west of the source property?
Common Questions
What school serves Lynnwood in Haverford Township?
Lynnwood residents are assigned to Lynnewood Elementary School (K–5), located at 1400 Lawrence Road, Havertown — directly within or adjacent to the neighborhood’s eastern boundary. The school is part of the Haverford Township School District and holds an 8 out of 10 GreatSchools rating and an A- grade on Niche. Students continue to Haverford Middle School and Haverford Senior High School.
Is there an HOA in Lynnwood, Havertown?
No HOA has been identified for Lynnwood through public records or public sources. The subdivision developed organically from the 1920s through the 1950s — a pattern common throughout Haverford Township — without the planned-community infrastructure that typically produces a formal homeowners association. Buyers should confirm the absence of any private deed restrictions through a title search.
What is the Havertown PCP Superfund site, and how close is it to Lynnwood?
The Havertown PCP Superfund site is located at 900 North Eagle Road — one of the streets that forms Lynnwood’s western boundary. National Wood Preservers operated a wood-treatment facility there from 1947 to 1991, contaminating soil and groundwater with pentachlorophenol (PCP), dioxins, and other compounds. The site was placed on the EPA’s National Priorities List in 1982. Remediation is ongoing: as of December 2024, the EPA was building a new water treatment plant after finding PCP contamination at depths of 400 feet in bedrock, extending south and west of the original facility. The area population is served by public water supply rather than private wells. Buyers are strongly advised to review the EPA site profile at response.epa.gov/havertownpcp and consult with an environmental attorney before purchasing.
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 home count for the Lynnwood subdivision was found in any public source. The neighborhood developed organically over several decades, making a precise count unavailable without a parcel-level GIS query of Haverford Township records.
- Builder — No single builder has been identified. Organic development spanning the 1920s–1950s is consistent with Haverford Township’s broader pattern and not attributable to one developer.
- Hoa Name — No HOA name or record was found through public records, Zillow, public Pennsylvania corporate filings, or web search. Public sales data also returned no HOA. Confirmed absence is likely but should be verified via title search.
- Lot Character Text — Precise Lot Size Distribution — Only a single representative parcel (1700 Melrose Ave, 61×114 ft) was found with recorded lot dimensions. A full lot-size range for the subdivision requires a township parcel data pull.
- Avg Year Built Note — The structural data input lists avg_year_built as 1943, while LivingPlaces.com cites a median age of circa 1953 and a build range of 1920–1950s. These are not contradictory (a 1943 average is plausible within a 1920s–1950s range), but the discrepancy between 1943 and 1953 is noted. Neither figure is treated as anomalous given the consistent era evidence.
- Superfund Proximity — Specific Distance To Lynnwood Parcels — North Eagle Road is confirmed as Lynnwood’s western boundary and the Superfund site is at 900 N. Eagle Road, but a parcel-level distance map was not obtained. Buyers should consult the EPA site boundary maps at response.epa.gov/havertownpcp.
School District
Lynnwood is served by the Haverford Township School District. Buyers should verify current school assignments directly with the district.
