Big 3 Condos in Lower Merion Dominate Market Share

Twenty-four condominium Buildings in Lower Merion saw transactions in the first 7-plus months of 2012, yet half the sales were in one of the Big 3: Presidential (Bala Cynwyd), Greenhill (Wynnewood), or Oak Hill (Penn Valley). Presidential and Green Hill both include utilities their monthly fees, while Oak Hill does not. Deals and luxury are available in all these buildings and each speaks to a different clientele.

The Presidential is just off the junction of City Ave (Rt.1) and I-76 (Schuykill Expwy). Convenient to points East, West and North, this high-rise is long on convenience and functionality. The Greenhill is Southward down City Ave, situated next to Lankenau Hospital and the closest of these abodes to Delaware County and points South. Oak Hill is the most bucolic and diverse of the Big 3, offering low-rise, hi-rise and townhouse options in a more-wooded setting, convenient to I-76 and points Westward such as King of Prussia and Conshohocken
