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.

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.
