Glenside has the most home sales of the four Montgomery County towns I cover. I live nearby in Mt Airy and work with buyers and sellers throughout Glenside.
Glenside is the busiest Montgomery County market I cover. Twenty-two homes closed in September, more than Wyndmoor, Flourtown and Oreland combined, at a median of $437,500 with the middle half between $348,500 and $570,000.
The range is wide, with September running from $165,000 to $875,000. The stock runs from 1920s bungalows through stone twins to larger Colonials, so what your number buys varies enormously by street. The 13-day median means you should know your criteria before you tour.
Settle the street first. 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 check each address, and it is worth asking any agent here to do the same. The Montgomery County transfer tax of 2% applies, and the buyer’s customary half is about $4,375 at the September median.
Read the buyer guide →Glenside closed 22 sales in September, the same as August and more than any other Montgomery County town I cover. A 13-day median means well-priced homes move fast, even with the pace easing from August’s six days. That volume is useful when you list: your comparable sales are current and plentiful, which is not true in the smaller Montgomery County towns nearby.
Price against the width of the market. With September sales spanning $165,000 to $875,000, the neighborhood median tells a buyer little about your house, so price from the sales yours resembles.

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, since the township sets the requirements you will deal with at resale.
September 2026 sales ran from $165,000 to $875,000 across 22 closings, and August ran from $355,000 to $1,145,000 across 22. 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 $437,500 September median is accurate and not especially useful for any individual house.
The September median was 13 days, up from six in August, and Glenside closed 22 sales that month, 10 of them above their original asking prices. Combined, that means choice and competition at the same time. Well-priced listings go quickly while the occasional overpriced one runs long, which is why the median is the better figure 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 September median of $437,500 the buyer’s share is about $4,375, 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.
