This single-floor residence offers a well-organized layout designed for comfortable everyday living. The living area is generously sized, finished with neutral gray carpeting, and benefits from abundant natural light streaming in through a sliding glass door fitted with vertical blinds. The door provides access to an outdoor area and frames views of surrounding greenery and the neighboring streetscape. A secondary window along the adjacent wall further enhances the brightness of the space. Baseboard heating units line the perimeter, ensuring efficient climate control throughout. The galley-style kitchen is thoughtfully arranged with cabinetry lining both sides in a contemporary gray finish, complemented by dark countertops and a marble-look tile backsplash on one wall. Black appliances, including a range and refrigerator, are paired with a stainless undermount sink. Wood-look vinyl flooring runs the length of the kitchen, providing a clean contrast to the carpeted living areas. The bedroom is a comfortable, carpeted room featuring a standard closet with a built-in rod, a window with blinds admitting natural light, and baseboard heating. The bathroom is finished with large-format stone-look tile flooring, a combined tub and shower, a toilet, and a white vanity with ample storage.

Just 7 miles west of Downtown Philadelphia, Upper Darby Township is a dense, walkable community where residents move easily between local restaurants, shops along Garrett Road, and green spaces -- all while staying connected to one of the country's largest metro areas. Popular destinations include the 69th Street corridor, the Beverly Hills Recreation Area, and Cobbs Creek Park.
The rental landscape leans heavily toward brick and stone row houses, apartment communities, and twin duplexes built in the early 1900s, with Tudor-Revival townhouses rounding out the southern end of the township. Apartment communities and standalone rentals cover a range of sizes, and the area's architectural character gives every neighborhood a grounded, established feel.
Tina Fey, Todd Rundgren, and Jim Croce all came up here -- a point of local pride enshrined in the Upper Darby High School Wall of Fame.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
