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.

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 in June 2026 was 78, in the Slow tier — down sharply from 89 in May 2026 and from 92 a year prior. The eleven-point drop marks a clear reversal of the spring reactivation: buyer urgency that had built through April and May receded faster than seasonal norms would predict. Demand eased across every segment. Condos still run hottest — both entry-level and luxury condos remain above the Steady threshold — but they came well off May’s peaks, while single-family and townhouse demand pulled back broadly.
