Huntingdon Valley Homes on Pennypack Creek's Wooded Slopes

Large 1960s homes under mature trees have shaded roofs, damp foundations and wood trim that stays wet. Carpenter ants nest in softened wood, and subterranean termites reach sills and porch framing in this moderate-to-heavy termite zone.

The creek valley keeps mosquitoes breeding and blacklegged ticks in the leaf litter at the yard's edge. Mice move from the woods into attics and garages in fall.

The 1967 median covers a building period that favored brick and stone colonials, large ranches and split-levels with attached two-car garages, many on half-acre to acre lots cut from estates and farms after the war. Their roofs carry heavy leaf loads from mature oaks and tulip poplars, gutters overflow every fall, and the downhill side of each foundation stays wet longer than the rest.

Many of these houses also gained finished basements with paneled walls, crawlspace additions and enclosed porches in the 1970s and 1980s, so construction joints and hidden wood are more common than the original plan suggests. That is where termites and carpenter ants get in. The township's smaller share of attached and rental housing brings house mice and German cockroaches into the mix, and wooded trail corridors carry deer and ticks through the middle of the township.

From Media to Huntingdon Valley

We go up I-476 to the Turnpike and head east, then take local roads into Huntingdon Valley, about 45 minutes. On estate-size lots, expect the free inspection to cover the yard edge along the woods as well as the house. Thom and his team finish with a written quote.

Bryn Athyn, Abington and the Philadelphia Line

Lower Moreland borders Northeast Philadelphia and the borough of Bryn Athyn, and Abington Township lies to the west. Huntingdon Pike (Route 232) is the main road through Huntingdon Valley. Huntingdon Pike (Route 232) runs north through Huntingdon Valley, while Red Lion Road and Philmont Avenue carry traffic toward Northeast Philadelphia. The Pennypack Trail follows the old Newtown rail bed along the creek through the township, linking wooded parkland that backs onto many residential streets and gives ticks and mice continuous cover. County Line Road forms the township's northeastern edge with the Southamptons in Bucks County. Lower Moreland High School on Red Lion Road anchors the Lower Moreland Township School District, which follows Pennsylvania's Act 35 of 2002 rules for integrated pest management plans and notice before pesticide applications. Small shopping centers along Huntingdon Pike and Philmont Avenue make up most of the commercial side.
