Zoning and coverage
Many townships regulate lot coverage, setbacks and tree removal. These rules decide what you can add or rebuild.
Commute options
SEPTA Regional Rail, I-76, US 1 and the Turnpike serve the county. Conditions on I-76 and US 1 vary, so test your route at your commute hours.

Older estates often have original systems, slate roofs and large mechanical loads. Budget for inspection of roofs, chimneys, drainage and mechanicals.
Taxes by township
Taxes differ by township and school district. Ask for the current tax bill rather than relying on listing estimates.
