Yes, Newtown Square is a good place to live if you want more land near the Main Line and you plan to drive. It offers larger lots, the Marple Newtown School District, well-known private schools, and quick highway access. It is especially good for families who want space and for people who work along I-476 or Route 202. Buyers who want to walk to a train station should look at the Main Line towns just north.
Where Newtown Square is
Newtown Square is in Delaware County, next to Radnor, Easttown, and Willistown townships. Most of it is Newtown Township, which was settled in 1681. It is technically not on the Main Line, which follows the old Pennsylvania Railroad, but many people group it with the Main Line because it shares the area’s shopping, private schools, and character.
Schools
Newtown Township is in the Marple Newtown School District, with Culbertson Elementary, Paxon Hollow Middle School, and Marple Newtown High School. Private schools are a major draw: Episcopal Academy moved to a 123-acre campus here in 2008, and Delaware County Christian School has its upper school campus in town.
Daily life
West Chester Pike has the shopping centers for everyday errands. SAP America has its North American headquarters in Newtown Square, and Aronimink Golf Club, host of the 1962 PGA Championship, is a local landmark. Wayne, Villanova, and the King of Prussia mall are 15 to 20 minutes away.
What homes cost
In ZIP 19073, Zillow’s typical single-family home value was about $909,000 in August 2026, up about 6 percent over the year. Across all home types, the least expensive third of homes was valued at about $487,000 and the most expensive third at about $1.35 million.
For the money, Newtown Square often offers more land than the Main Line towns nearby, with colonials and ranch homes from the mid-1900s, newer subdivisions, townhome communities, and estate homes on large lots.
Getting around
Newtown Square has no train station; its branch rail line closed in 1963. Most residents drive. King of Prussia is about 20 minutes away and Center City about 31 minutes without traffic, using West Chester Pike (PA 3), PA 252, and I-476. SEPTA’s Route 104 bus runs along West Chester Pike, and Main Line stations in Radnor Township are a short drive.
What to think through
- You will drive. There is no rail station in town.
- Traffic on West Chester Pike at rush hour.
- Delaware County reassessed every property in 2021, so recent tax bills are the best guide to future ones.
- Check the district by address near the township edges.
Who Newtown Square is right for
Newtown Square suits families who want space and good schools, Episcopal Academy families, and people who work at SAP, along I-476, or in King of Prussia. To compare nearby options, see Villanova and Malvern, or the Newtown Square community page.
