Easton Road Retail Next to 1958 Housing

Restaurants, shops and dumpsters along Easton Road and Moreland Road sit close to residential blocks. Norway rats and mice feed behind those buildings and travel along fences and drainage lines to nearby basements.

Houses and apartment buildings from the 1950s have softened mortar, old basement windows and shared plumbing. With about a third of homes rented, turnover brings bed bugs and German cockroaches into older units.

The center of town, near the train station where York Road meets Easton Road, is older than the 1958 median, with early-1900s twins, frame singles and apartments above storefronts. Those buildings have stone or brick cellars, coal-era openings and wood framing that rests on the foundation with no sill seal, so mice, camel crickets and termites have easy access. Postwar capes and brick twins fill most of the side streets beyond.

The Turnpike interchange and the mall bring heavy traffic and constant deliveries, and the restaurants, grocery stores and fast-food pads around them throw off food waste on a scale few nearby towns match. Rats nest in landscaped islands and storm drains around the big parking lots, then forage outward. Garden apartments from the 1960s along the main roads, with shared basements and laundry rooms, give German cockroaches and bed bugs a building-wide circuit each time a lease turns over.

Getting to Willow Grove from Media

Willow Grove Station, Abington and Upper Moreland

Willow Grove straddles Upper Moreland and Abington Township, with SEPTA's Warminster Line stopping at Willow Grove station. Hatboro lies a short drive north on York Road. Willow Grove Park mall stands on the site of the old Willow Grove Park, the trolley-era amusement park that closed in the 1970s, and its parking fields and surrounding retail pads anchor the busiest commercial stretch of Easton Road. The Pennsylvania Turnpike's Willow Grove interchange feeds Route 611 close to the mall, and Moreland Road crosses Easton Road nearby. The Upper Moreland side of town is served by the Upper Moreland School District and the Abington side by the Abington School District, and both follow Pennsylvania's Act 35 of 2002 rules for integrated pest management plans and notice before pesticide applications. The former Willow Grove naval air station land lies a short way up Easton Road in Horsham. Commercial calls in town center on kitchens, grocery back rooms and dumpster pads.
