About Norwood

Norwood is a quiet, close-knit Delaware County community located just south of Philadelphia along Darby and Muckinipattis creeks. It has a classic Delco feel, with sidewalk-lined streets, tidy yards, and welcoming front porches. Everyday shopping and local diners line Chester Pike and Winona Avenue, while neighborhood parks and landmarks like the colonial-era Morton Morton House give the area a lot of charm.
