Drexel Hill, PA Homes & Real Estate

Drexel Hill is a residential community in Upper Darby Township, Delaware County, just west of Philadelphia. It is primarily neighborhoods of brick and stone homes, with small shopping districts along State Road, Garrett Road and Burmont Road.

The location puts Center City Philadelphia and the airport within reach of many commuters. SEPTA bus routes serve the area, and the 69th Street Transportation Center, a major hub for the Market-Frankford Line, is nearby. Route 1 and Route 3 (West Chester Pike) lead west toward Media and West Chester, and I-476 and I-95 are reachable by short drives.

Green space is part of the neighborhood, with Naylor’s Run and the trails and parks along Cobbs Creek close by, and local parks within Upper Darby Township. Shopping and dining are in the nearby commercial strips and in Upper Darby’s 69th Street area, with larger malls and offices further out along Route 3. Hospitals and universities in Philadelphia and Delaware County are within a short drive.

Housing in Drexel Hill is mainly single-family homes, twins and some rowhomes, many built in the early and mid-twentieth century, with some apartment buildings along the main roads. Older homes can have different maintenance and inspection needs than newer ones, so we walk through the details with buyers and sellers. Ask for a free home value or send us your search.

Many Drexel Hill homes were built decades ago, so a thorough inspection is worth the time. The age of the roof, the heating system, the electrical panel and basement moisture are the usual items to check. We help buyers read inspection reports and help sellers decide which repairs are worth making before listing. Closing costs and transfer taxes in Pennsylvania are handled differently than in Delaware, and we will walk you through what to expect at the settlement table.
