Glenside closes more sales than any other township market Henry Meigs covers. He lives in nearby Mt Airy and represents buyers and sellers throughout Montgomery County’s 19038.
Glenside is the most accessible Montgomery County market I cover and the busiest. Nineteen homes closed in July, more than Wyndmoor, Flourtown and Oreland combined, at a median of $470,000 with the middle half between $389,000 and $637,500.
The range is wide even in a quieter month, with July running from $255,000 to $715,000. The stock runs from 1920s bungalows through stone twins to larger Colonials, so what your number buys varies enormously by street. The six-day median means you should know your criteria before you tour rather than working them out along the way.
The thing to settle first is the street. Glenside spans Cheltenham and Abington townships with portions reaching into Springfield, so the municipality, the resale requirements and the price tier all turn on the specific address. I work it per address rather than per neighborhood, and you should insist on that from any agent here. The Montgomery County transfer tax of 2% applies, putting the buyer’s customary half around $4,700 at the July median.
Read the buyer guide →Nineteen closings in July, on the heels of 27 in June, keep Glenside the deepest buyer pool of the Montgomery County towns I cover, and a six-day median means well-priced homes move fast. That volume is useful when you list: your comparable sales are current and plentiful, which is not true in the Springfield Township towns nearby.
The width of the market is what to price against. With July sales spanning $255,000 to $715,000, the neighborhood median tells a buyer little about your house. Your listing needs to be positioned against the specific tier it belongs to, which means pricing from the sales your house resembles rather than from the town number.

Glenside spans Cheltenham and Abington townships in Montgomery County, zip code 19038, anchored by the Keswick Theatre and its regional rail station. The guide covers the housing stock, the Easton Road corridor and the monthly market data.
It depends on the street. Glenside straddles Cheltenham Township and Abington Township, with smaller portions extending into Springfield Township, so the community sits across three municipalities. It is worth verifying per address rather than assuming, since the township sets the requirements you will deal with at resale.
July 2026 sales ran from $255,000 to $715,000 across 19 closings, and June stretched further still, from $142,500 to $910,000. The housing stock explains it: 1920s bungalows, stone twins and larger Colonial-style homes all trade in the same zip code, and the blocks vary as much as the houses do. The $470,000 July median is accurate and not especially useful for any individual house.
The July median was six days, which makes it one of the faster markets in the area, and it closed 19 sales that month, 10 of them over asking price. Combined, that means real choice and real competition at the same time. Well-priced listings go quickly while the occasional overpriced one runs long, so the average is less informative than the median here.
Cheltenham and Abington townships both charge a 1% local realty transfer tax plus the 1% state tax, for 2% total, and it is customarily split evenly. At the July median of $470,000 the buyer’s share is about $4,700, alongside the usual title, lender and settlement costs.
In this town that question comes before almost every other one, because the price tier turns on it. Call 484-571-4577 and I will look at the block with you.
