The local detail people miss
Two Springfield Townships in the Philadelphia suburbs
Springfield Township, Montgomery County — Wyndmoor, Erdenheim, Flourtown, Oreland — and Springfield Township, Delaware County are separate municipalities in separate counties, each with its own school district and tax bill.

The Springfield Township (Montgomery County) Tradeoff
No town fits every search. Here's the honest version of both sides.
Why buyers consider it
Confirm the county first
If a listing says "Springfield Township," verify whether it's Montgomery or Delaware County. Everything else — schools, taxes, services — follows from that.
Pick your village
Wyndmoor, Erdenheim, Flourtown and Oreland differ in housing age, layout and which train station is closest, even though they share one township.
Watch the shared place names
Lafayette Hill, Fort Washington, Laverock, North Hills, Miquon and Glenside are only partly inside the township. The mailing name does not settle the municipality.
What you should know
The honest tradeoff
A suburban township directly against Chestnut Hill with two Regional Rail lines nearby Much of the housing is older and close-in, so lots and systems need a closer look
The honest tradeoff
Four distinct villages under one township government and one school district The shared "Springfield" name is easily confused with Delaware County's township
