Both are nationally ranked. The specific high school assignment must be confirmed by parcel. Lower Merion School District is the primary value driver in the Narberth market.
What Drives Value in Narberth
Narberth's premium is the Lower Merion School District access at a below-Ardmore and below-Bryn Mawr price point combined with genuine walkability on Haverford Avenue and SEPTA Narberth Station.

I market Narberth listings specifically to the buyer who has been priced out of the inner Main Line and has not yet discovered that Narberth delivers most of the same practical advantages at a lower entry point.
