This picturesque town of Kennett Square in southern Chester County offers plenty of modest, move-in ready two or three bedroom townhomes. The majority of single homes start around $300,000, but occasionally a fixer-upper will hit the market for a more affordable price – and they tend to be a great value!

The bustling town of Drexel Hill in Delaware County was recently ranked the top suburb for young buyers in Greater Philadelphia. Affordable, diverse, and easily accessible to Center City, you can expect to find plenty of quaint Tudor-style homes and Colonials (but note that the property taxes are high!).

Glenside is located in the heart of Montgomery County, and offers plenty of nearby shops, restaurants, and parks. For $200,000, you’ll find modest single homes on a quarter acre (and likely in need of updating), or a move-in ready 3 bedroom townhome. Pictured: 240 Logan Ave, Glenside PA
