Glenside is the most accessible Montgomery County market I cover and the busiest. Twenty-seven homes closed in June, more than Wyndmoor, Flourtown and Oreland combined, at a median of $425,000 with most sales between roughly $375,000 and $550,000. If you want township living without a Chestnut Hill or Wyndmoor price, this is usually the answer.
It is also the widest range on my list, from $142,500 to $910,000 in a single month. The stock runs from 1920s bungalows through stone twins to larger Colonials, so what your number buys varies enormously by street. The 8 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 school district. Glenside spans Cheltenham and Abington townships with portions reaching into Springfield, and the district depends on the specific street. I check 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 $4,250 at the median.
Read the buyer guide →Twenty-seven closings in June makes Glenside the deepest buyer pool north of the city line, and an 8 day median means well-priced homes move fast. That volume is genuinely 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 June sales spanning $142,500 to $910,000, the neighborhood median tells a buyer almost nothing about your house. Your listing needs to be positioned against the specific tier it belongs to, and if your street sits in a district that buyers actively seek, that belongs in how the house is presented.

Glenside spans Cheltenham and Abington townships in Montgomery County, zip code 19038, anchored by the Keswick Theatre and its regional rail station. For the housing stock, the Easton Road corridor and month-by-month market data, I keep a detailed guide.
Read the full Glenside neighborhood guideIt depends on the street. Glenside straddles Cheltenham Township and Abington Township, with smaller portions extending into Springfield Township, and Cheltenham, Abington and Springfield Township school districts each cover parts of the community. This is the most important thing to verify per address in Glenside, and you should confirm it with the district directly before relying on it.
June 2026 sales ran from $142,500 to $910,000 across 27 closings, the widest spread of any town I cover. The housing stock explains it: 1920s bungalows, stone twins and larger Colonial-style homes all trade in the same zip code, and school district differences by street add another layer. The $425,000 median is accurate and not especially useful for any individual house.
Often yes, and it is the substitution I see most. The June median of $425,000 sits well below Wyndmoor’s $958,000 while keeping the Montgomery County transfer tax of 2% and regional rail access, though on the Lansdale and Doylestown line rather than the Chestnut Hill lines. The trade is a different commercial corridor and a housing stock that leans smaller and earlier.
The June median was 8 days, which makes it one of the faster markets in the area, and it closed 27 sales that month. 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 June median of $425,000 the buyer’s share is about $4,250. The same price in Philadelphia would cost the buyer roughly $9,700, which is a real consideration at this end of the market.
In this town that question comes before almost every other one, because the district and the price tier both turn on it. Call 484-571-4577 and I will look it up with you.
