About
Wynnewood Valley is a residential area within Lower Merion Township, Montgomery County, carrying the 19096 ZIP code and served by Penn Wynne Elementary School in the Lower Merion School District. The area’s detached single-family homes reflect the mid-twentieth century buildout of Wynnewood described by the Lower Merion Historical Society — a period when subdivisions emerged close to transit lines and farmland transitioned to residential use. Wynnewood Station on the SEPTA Paoli/Thorndale Line, built in the 1870s and designed by Wilson Brothers and Company for the Pennsylvania Railroad, sits less than a mile from the neighborhood, providing direct service to Center City Philadelphia. Adjacent municipal assets include Wynnewood Valley Park at 1505 Remington Road, a Lower Merion Township facility with basketball courts, dedicated pickleball courts, a children’s playground, pavilion, and a sensory garden for the visually impaired.

What Makes This Distinct
The public records subdivision tag ‘Wynnewood Valley’ covers at least two distinct housing types: an organic mid-century detached SFH neighborhood (avg year built 1941 per 33-year appreciation index) and a 1986-built townhome enclave at 540 Haverford Road governed by the Wynnewood Valley HOA, which carries a monthly fee covering common area maintenance, lawn care, snow removal, insurance, and reserve funds — buyers should confirm which sub-type they are purchasing before assuming HOA applicability.

Worth Asking
Have you considered that the Lower Merion School District determines elementary school assignments by street address rather than by ZIP code or neighborhood name — meaning two homes on the same block of Wynnewood Valley could feed different elementary schools depending on which side of a boundary line they fall on?
Common Questions
Does Wynnewood Valley have a homeowners association?
It depends on the specific property. Public records show that the townhome enclave at 540 Haverford Road carries an active HOA called ‘Wynnewood Valley HOA’ with a monthly fee that covers common area maintenance, lawn care, snow removal, insurance, and reserve funds. Detached single-family homes elsewhere in the Wynnewood Valley public records area — such as those on Remington Road — have recorded no HOA in public records. Buyers should verify HOA status by street address before making an offer.
Which schools serve Wynnewood Valley?
Wynnewood Valley falls within the Lower Merion School District. Penn Wynne Elementary School is the most commonly assigned elementary school for the Wynnewood Valley area, per public sales data. However, the Lower Merion School District assigns elementary schools by individual street address, not by neighborhood or ZIP code — buyers near boundary lines should confirm assignments directly with the district’s transportation department at transportation@lmsd.org. Middle school options are Welsh Valley or Bala Cynwyd Middle School, and high school options are Harriton or Lower Merion High School.
What is the housing stock like in Wynnewood Valley?
Detached single-family homes are the dominant structure type in the Wynnewood Valley public records area. Architectural styles include Colonial and Split Level forms, with stone foundations and stone or vinyl siding construction recorded in public records for homes such as the 1957-built 1224 Remington Road. A separate townhome component exists along Haverford Road, built in 1986 with stucco construction and approximately 2,000 square feet of living space. Broader Wynnewood includes Dutch Colonial, Federal, and stone Colonial styles dating from the early to mid-twentieth century, consistent with the township’s mid-century residential buildout period.
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 Wynnewood Valley subdivision boundary exists in public sources. The public records tag covers at least two distinct development types (organic SFH and 1986 townhome enclave), making a unified count unreliable without a recorded plat.
- Builder — No single builder identified for the Wynnewood Valley area. The organic SFH stock reflects mid-twentieth century incremental development typical of Lower Merion. The 1986 Haverford Road townhome enclave builder is not documented in available public sources.
- Hoa Name — HOA (Wynnewood Valley HOA) is confirmed only for the townhome component at 540 Haverford Road. Detached SFH properties on Remington Road show no HOA in public records. The page notes this ambiguity explicitly. A Cyr Team reviewer should confirm whether any detached SFH streets in this public records area carry separate HOA obligations.
- Entity Type — The preset ‘subdivision’ is partially correct. Wynnewood Valley functions as both an organic mid-century SFH neighborhood and a named 1986 townhome enclave. It does not behave as a single planned subdivision with unified governance. The ‘subdivision’ label is retained but reviewers should consider whether ‘borough_or_community’ better reflects the organic SFH portion.
- Avg Year Built — The 33-year appreciation index returns avg year built 1941 based on only 3 sales of detached SFH. This figure may not represent the full Wynnewood Valley area, which also includes 1986 townhomes. The 1941 figure is plausible for the detached SFH stock but should not be generalized to the townhome enclave. No anomaly flagged for the SFH stock specifically, but the mixed-vintage character warrants review.
- Lot Character Text — Specific lot sizes for Wynnewood Valley detached SFH could not be verified from named sources. Lot character is inferred from Lower Merion Historical Society descriptions of the broader Wynnewood area and public records listing narratives.
