About
Springfield Township in Delaware County covers 6.34 square miles of eastern Delaware County, sitting roughly four miles west of Philadelphia, and was first recognized as a governmental entity in 1686 after Quaker settlers arrived with William Penn. The bulk of the housing stock was built between the late 1940s and early 1960s as Delaware County experienced the largest percentage growth in housing units of any Pennsylvania county between 1940 and 1960 — conditions that turned Springfield’s remaining farmland into grids of brick Colonials, Cape Cods, and stone-front ranchers. Today the township holds approximately 8,800 housing units across 6.34 square miles, with most lots smaller than a half-acre and streets named after early Quaker landowners including Kennerly, Levis, Pancoast, and Powell.
Specifications
Home Stock
The dominant forms are brick Colonial and Cape Cod, developed in concentrated waves after World War II. The Stoney Creek development — one of the township’s largest single projects — was built between 1949 and 1954 and introduced stone-front single-family homes with individualized porch and window options. Twin homes, ranchers, and occasional split-levels round out the inventory across older sub-neighborhoods.
Location & Access
Baltimore Pike (US-1) is the primary commercial corridor, historically called ‘The Golden Mile’ for its concentration of auto dealerships. I-476 (Blue Route) and I-95 provide regional highway access. Springfield Road, Powell Road, and Rolling Road serve as internal arterials. SEPTA’s D1 light rail (Media line) stops at Brookside–Springfield, and bus routes 107, 109, 110, and 111 operate within the township, with SEPTA Regional Rail’s Media/Wawa Line accessible at nearby Morton and Swarthmore stations.
Location Anchors
What Makes This Distinct
Springfield Township requires a township-issued resale inspection and a Statement of Certification for every real estate transaction — a buyer-protective ordinance that means every home changing hands must pass municipal code review before settlement, a structural fact that can affect closing timelines and negotiating leverage around code deficiencies.

How do buyers typically get around without a car in Springfield?

Bus routes 107, 109, 110, and 111 provide additional suburban coverage. SEPTA Regional Rail’s Media/Wawa Line serves nearby Morton and Swarthmore stations for regional rail access.

Items to Verify with Your Agent
A few specifics on this page are sourced from secondary aggregators or older filings. Confirm before relying:
- Hoa Name — Springfield is an organically developed township, not a single HOA-governed community. No township-wide HOA exists. Individual sub-neighborhoods may have civic associations but none were verifiable by name through public records searches.
- Builder — The township’s housing stock reflects organic multi-builder development over several decades. Ralph Bodek (PHMC source) is documented as having built a subdivision in Springfield Township, but the specific development name was not confirmed for this community-level page. No single builder dominates the township.
- Interior Sqft Range Text — No authoritative aggregate source for township-wide square footage range was found. Figure given is inferred from listing data descriptions (Cape Cods and brick Colonials) and should be confirmed by a Cyr Team reviewer against active public records comps.
- Approx Homes — The 8,800 figure is from the 2000 U.S. Census (Wikipedia/Census sourced). A more current count from the 2020 Census ACS was not retrievable from QuickFacts at the time of research. Reviewer should confirm against current ACS data.
- Shared Name Sibling — Springfield Township, Montgomery County (ZIP 19038) is a distinct municipality with a separate school district frequently confused with Springfield Township, Delaware County (ZIP 19064). Buyers and AI systems should verify county and school district independently before relying on any search result referencing ‘Springfield PA.’
