Willow Grove and Fort Washington Real Estate & Homes for Sale in Pennsylvania

Willow Grove & Fort Washington: Located in Montgomery County, Willow Grove and Fort Washington are neighbors with extensive histories. Willow Grove was the site of the Willow Grove Park, an attraction that gave the area countrywide prominence and worldwide fame in the late 1800s. It is now primarily a residential community with distinctive neighborhoods that are complemented by several thriving business, industrial, and commercial districts. Fort Washington State Park and the community of Fort Washington take their name from the fort built here by soldiers of the American Revolution in the fall of 1777. Like most communities in the area, both have evolved from basic early housing through the changes in construction trends over the years and now feature diverse housing markets featuring everything from Colonial and Victorian to tract homes and custom estates. Homes start at around $100,000 and range up to $500,000 or more for custom homes on large lots or estate properties. There are still many historic structures in the area dating from the early 1700s to the turn of the twentieth century. They represent something special; perhaps a reminder of a time when life was simpler, or simply extant examples of bygone ingenuity and craftsmanship.
