A real borough grid
Conshohocken is its own municipality with a tight street grid running up from the river, which is why so much of it is genuinely walkable rather than suburban-scaled.

What's It Actually Like in Conshohocken?

Two Conshohockens
West Conshohocken is a separate borough across the river, incorporated in 1874 from Upper and Lower Merion Township land, and it is served by a different school district.

What school district serves Conshohocken?
Conshohocken Borough is served by Colonial School District. Verify the exact school assignment for the specific property address before you buy.
What are property taxes like in Conshohocken?
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 Conshohocken
The borough's older core is dominated by attached and twin housing on narrow lots, with condominium and apartment buildings added closer to the river. Because lots are small and streets are tight, parking and outdoor space vary a lot from block to block.
The local detail people miss

Conshohocken Borough is in the Colonial School District; West Conshohocken Borough is served by Upper Merion Area School District.
