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 Keswick Theatre has been a community fixture since 1926, hosting touring acts and local productions across multiple eras of the neighborhood’s history. Easton Road has developed a solid mix of restaurants, shops, and services that give the area a walkable commercial center with staying power.
The housing stock in Glenside is varied and interesting. Bungalows from the 1920s and 1930s with original porch details, stone twins with good bones, and larger Colonial-style homes that have been well-maintained. The variety means there’s generally something in the market for buyers at different price points.
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, scored against each market’s 2019 activity. Bright MLS reads below 70 as limited demand; 70–89 slow; 90–109 steady; 110–129 moderate; 130 and above high. Updated monthly.
The Philadelphia metro HDI fell to 77 in September 2026, down five points from August and still in the Slow tier. It sits two points below its September 2025 reading of 79. All six segments lost ground on the month. Luxury single-family homes dropped 12 points to 60, into the Limited tier, but they remain the only segment above their September 2025 level. Entry-level condos fell 10 points to 97 and stayed Steady. Entry-level single-family demand slipped one point to 76, nine points under where it sat a year ago. T3 attributed the drop to “rate-and-affordability fatigue.” Freddie Mac’s 30-year average passed 7 percent on September 24, and I wrote about why rates rose after the Fed’s September increase.
