Newtown Square at a glance
Newtown Square is the Delaware County community next to the Main Line where buyers often find more land for the money. Most of it is Newtown Township, settled in 1681, and it is served by the Marple Newtown School District. In ZIP 19073, Zillow’s typical single-family home value was about $909,000 in August 2026.
Newtown Square has no train station, so it suits buyers who drive. In return, it offers larger lots, newer neighborhoods alongside older ones, and quick access to I-476.
Schools
Newtown Township is in the Marple Newtown School District. Culbertson Elementary serves the Newtown side, and older students attend Paxon Hollow Middle School and Marple Newtown High School.
Private schools are a major draw:
- Episcopal Academy, a pre-K through 12 school, moved to a 123-acre campus in Newtown Square in 2008.
- Delaware County Christian School has its upper school campus here.
A few homes with a Newtown Square mailing address are in neighboring townships and school districts, so check each address.
Daily life
- SAP America has its North American headquarters on West Chester Pike, one of the area’s largest employers.
- Aronimink Golf Club, a Donald Ross course that hosted the 1962 PGA Championship, is in Newtown Square.
- History close to home: Bartram’s Covered Bridge (1860) and the Hood Octagonal School (1842) are local landmarks.
Shopping centers along West Chester Pike handle everyday errands, and Wayne, Villanova, and the King of Prussia mall are 15 to 20 minutes away.
