Hi Tulipia,

You should drive the area at different times of the day and on weekdays and weekends to determine if you like the neighborhood or not. These homes are located in Upper Darby Township with a Clifton Heights postal zip code. They are also located within the Upper Darby School District, with the two closest elementary schools being Westbrook Park Elementary and Primos Elementary. You should check with the school district to see which elementary school these homes will be placed with.

As far as the asking price.... I just did a quick search for active existing (not new construction) twin homes in the 19018 zip code and found 14 homes priced from $76,000 to $180,000 with most of the homes going in the $130,000 to $160,000 range. The home priced at $76,000 needs TLC and the home priced at $180,000 is completely renovated. There are also 2 new home listings not far from these homes in Drexel Hill zip code asking $209,900. Therefore, the asking price of $179,900 fits in with the market of that area.

I am a local realtor, living in Clifton Heights, and would be happy to help you look for your next home. In addition to my normal buyer and seller services, I also specialize in working with 1st time buyers and clients looking for energy efficient and "green" homes. I am a certified Ecosociate through EcoBroker. Visit my website for more info. on 1st time buyer programs, info. on energy efficient tax incentives and more.

Best wishes in your home search.
