Montgomery County Housing — From Norristown Twins to Lower Merion Estates
Montgomery County is one of the most architecturally varied counties in the Delaware Valley. We see all of it:
Norristown, Conshohocken, Jenkintown — older boroughs with tightly-spaced twins, three-stories, and Victorians built late 1800s through 1920s. Pitched shingle or slate roofs, parapet walls between attached homes, and party-wall flashing details that resemble Philadelphia rowhouse work more than typical suburbia. Lower Merion (Bala Cynwyd, Narberth, Wynnewood, Ardmore) — large estate homes, gracious twin-and-triplex Tudor and Stone Center-Hall colonials, slate and cedar premium materials, complex roof geometry with multiple dormers and chimneys. King of Prussia, Plymouth Meeting, Blue Bell, Horsham — newer (1980s–2010s) single-family colonials and Cape Cods on bigger lots, mostly architectural shingle, often inside HOA-governed developments with material/color rules. Lansdale, North Wales, Hatfield, Souderton — mix of mid-century ranchers and newer single-family construction, standard architectural shingle work. Abington, Cheltenham, Glenside — older inner-ring suburbs with mid-century split-levels, Cape Cods, and turn-of-the-century twins, similar housing stock to lower Bucks and Northeast Philly.
