How Does Lower Moreland Compare? 'Top Suburbs To Buy A House' List Released

Lower Moreland was not named on a list of the best suburban places in the United States to buy a home, according to a new ranking by Niche Local.

Several Philadelphia suburbs in Montgomery County, however, did make the cut.

West Conshohocken was ranked first in the entire nation.

Conshohocken (8), Narberth (17), Bridgeport (22), Ambler (62), Upper Merion (78), Montgomery Township (84), Upper Providence (96), and Hatboro (97) all scored in the top 100 countrywide.

“Niche ranks US suburbs based on home values, property taxes, housing costs, and age of new home buyers,” the study said. “A high ranking indicates that a suburb attracts residents with a good housing market where property taxes and housing costs are in line with value.”

A dozen factors were considered, the most important of which were home value to income ratio, median home value, monthly housing cost, and percentage of residents between the ages of 25 and 44.

Lower Moreland was, however, ranked 92nd in Pennsylvania. They received an “A+” grade in education, which the list methodology says accounts for 10 percent of the ranking.
