Glenside spans portions of Cheltenham and Abington townships in Montgomery County. It has a SEPTA regional rail station on the Lansdale/Doylestown line, a commercial corridor on Easton Road, and the Keswick Theatre, which has been operating since 1926. The housing stock was built primarily between the 1920s and 1950s.
Buyers here tend to find prices more accessible than in neighboring Jenkintown or Elkins Park, with a housing stock that has real character: bungalows, stone twins, and Colonial-style homes from the interwar and postwar periods.

Glenside station provides direct service to Center City Philadelphia on the Lansdale and Doylestown lines, with a trip of roughly 30 to 40 minutes. That access has made the neighborhood consistently attractive to commuters and has had a steady effect on demand over time.

The T3 Home Demand Index (HDI) measures buyer urgency relative to available supply. Values below 50 signal limited demand; 50–74 moderate; 75–89 slow; 90+ steady. Updated monthly from Bright MLS data.
The Philadelphia metro HDI held at 80 in July 2026, unchanged from June and still in the Slow tier. Demand usually eases through July, so a flat month reads as relative strength after June’s pullback. The index remains eight points below its July 2025 reading of 88. Under the flat headline the segments split: both condo tiers pushed deeper into Steady territory, at 100 and 101, and townhouses firmed to 86. Single-family demand slipped at all three price tiers, with luxury down nine points to 72, the largest move of any segment.
