What are the different neighborhoods called, and how would you characterize the housing in each? which areas are more desirable and why? And how high ARE the taxes?

Hi Howard!

Elkins Park is located in both Cheltenham Township and Abington Township. As a long time resident of Elkins Park in Cheltenham, I can tell you that there are many wonderful things about Elkins Park. It is well situated and it has variety of homes from beautiful stone colonials to the ease of split levels and ranches.

Elkins Park is located close to major highways and is also a quick train ride into Center City Philadelphia and the airport. One thing I like is that I can be in NYC , the Poconos or at the shore in less than a 2 hour drive from my home!

Both Cheltenham and Abington township have great parks. Abington township has lower taxes than Cheltenham because of their commercial base.
Here are two websites you might want to check out; http://www.cheltenham.org http://www.abington.org

If you have any other questions, please feel free to email or call me.

Howard,
Elkins PArk has so much to offer. As a resident and a professional who chose t focus on this area, I can tell you EP houses are rich in style, charm and character. Elkins Park is a neighborhood within Cheltenham Twp and not officially divided to any sub-neighborhoods. Taxes tend to be a higher than close municipality but demand is always on the rise here and that must mean people believe the quality of life in EP is worth the taxes...
The new buzzword for the residents is Creekside Coop...

Would love to talk to you more about the wonderful things EP has to offer and also share with you 2 new houses is Elkins Park that I will be putting on the market tomorrow. Please email me at odelia@odeliaaminov.com or call/txt at 215-360-7573.
You can also find great info on my website that pertains to EP rentals and sales.

Warm Regards,

Odelia
