A township, not a borough
Aston Township runs its own local government and services across a spread-out area, so neighborhoods a few minutes apart can feel quite different from one another.

What's It Actually Like in Aston?
Neumann University in town
Neumann University's campus is located in Aston at One Neumann Drive, adding a steady institutional presence to the township.
Mostly car-first suburbia
Aston is oriented around driving rather than a walk-to-the-train downtown, which is a real difference from Delco's rail-line boroughs such as Media or Swarthmore.

What school district serves Aston?
Aston Township is served by Penn-Delco School District. Verify the exact school assignment for the specific property address before you buy.
What are property taxes like in Aston?
A Delaware County property tax bill generally combines three separate taxes — county, municipal and school district — applied to the county assessed value of that individual property. Because assessments, exemptions and millage rates differ by property and are set each year, the only reliable number is the one for the specific address. Ask for the current tax detail on any home you're considering and verify it with the county and the taxing bodies. This is general information, not tax or legal advice.
What you'll actually find in Aston
Aston's housing is largely post-war and later suburban construction — single-family homes, ranches and split-levels, along with twins and townhome developments. Lot sizes and street layouts vary noticeably across the township.
The local detail people miss
School district by address, not by ZIP
Penn-Delco serves Aston Township, but Delaware County school district lines do not follow ZIP codes and the 19014 mailing area is used by more than one institution. Always verify the assigned district and schools for the exact address.
The Aston Tradeoff
No town fits every search. Here's the honest version of both sides.
Why buyers consider it
Confirm the school district for the address
Penn-Delco serves Aston Township, but do not assume a ZIP code equals a district — verify the specific address.
Neighborhoods differ within the township
Aston covers a lot of ground, so tour more than one section before deciding what 'Aston' means to you.
Plan around driving
There is no train station in the township, so factor in the drive to a Regional Rail station or to I-95/I-476.
What you should know
The honest tradeoff
More house and land for the money than Delco's rail-line boroughs No walkable train station or downtown core in the township
