Why Ridley Park homes are different

Ridley Park: Victorian Borough, Historic Character

Ridley Park Borough’s housing stock is predominantly Victorian and early 20th-century — homes that carry the aging systems and materials of their era.

🏛Victorian & Early 20th-Century HomesWell-preserved inventory of late 19th- and early 20th-century Victorian homes requiring attention to original wiring, galvanized plumbing, clay sewer laterals, and aging systems. 🚨Aging Sewer LateralsRidley Park’s older Borough streets have clay sewer laterals from the early 1900s prone to root intrusion and collapse. A camera scope is essential for pre-1960 properties. ☢Radon Testing RecommendedDelaware County is EPA Zone 1. Radon testing is recommended for every purchase.

Dave is absolutely a pleasure. He is personable and educates the buyer. He saved me from buying a property with serious structural issues that would have cost as much to repair as the house was worth. None of my friends will purchase a house without his inspection.
