Real Estate in the West Ward of Lansdale, PA

Lansdale is located about 25 miles north of center city Philadelphia, and is conveniently located on SEPTA's R5 commuter rail line. Lansdale's history stretches back over 150 years. That history is reflected in the residential housing stock of the West Ward and the rest of the borough. The West Ward is home to turn of the century brick row homes, twin homes from Victorian to pre-war and single homes, both simple and stately. There is even city loft living at the Turbo Lofts - luxury bi-level lofts in the former Turbo textile factory.
There is a home for every budget and family type. The diversity of the neighborhood is one of the many reasons people love to call this area home.
Historic row homes in the West Ward generally cost in the $150,000 to $200,000 range, and twin homes range from the $180's for a more modest twin to the $290's for twins that boast luxury living and over 1,800 square feet of space.
