What school district serves Abington?
Abington Township is served by Abington School District. Verify the exact school assignment for the specific property address before you buy.
What are property taxes like in Abington?
A Montgomery County property tax bill generally combines three separate taxes — county, municipal and school district — applied to the county assessed value of that individual property. Assessments, exemptions and millage rates differ by property and are set each year, so 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 Abington
Housing across the township ranges from older pre-war homes near the rail communities to post-war detached construction on suburban streets. Because the township is large and developed over a long span, the housing character varies significantly by section.
The local detail people miss
The mailing name is not the municipality
Abington Township includes several postal communities with their own names and ZIP codes. When you're checking taxes, permits or trash service, the answer comes from Abington Township — and neighboring boroughs like Jenkintown are separate municipalities with their own governments and schools. Verify the municipality of record for each address.

No town fits every search. Here's the honest version of both sides.
