Sprawling old farmhouses mix with older single-family residences and new construction in a variety of styles and price ranges. One to five-acre lots are not uncommon in some sections, and Salford Township has retained its original flavor as an agricultural community. Active civic groups, a grassroots friendliness and old-world Pennsylvania hospitality characterize this community. Shopping facilities and recreation opportunities are available locally, although residents have a plethora of resources from which to choose in the Philadelphia area.
