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.
