Casa Halladay
New Phillies pitcher Roy Halladay has put down roots here.
Through a trust, “Doc” and family have settled on a two-year-old, five-bedroom, six-bath manse, complete with pool and pool house, on 1.66 acres in Newtown Square.
He now shares a zip code with teammate Cole Hamels, who with his wife Heidi bought a house off West Chester Pike last summer.
Delaware County records peg the Halladay sale price at $2,288,500.
Records in Hillsborough County, Fla., show that he and wife Brandy also own a multimillion-dollar house about a half-hour from the spring training camp of his former team, the Toronto Blue Jays.

Sin actually its between Media , West Chester, and Wayne. Arguably the 3 nicest small towns in the entire region and sits at the doorstep of Ridley Creek State Park. The whole area Newtown Square,Upper Providence,Edgmont,Willistown Township is off the hook. You can be at the stadium in 1/2 hr.- Hey, Sinical - when was the last time you left the city limits? Newtown Square is hardly a little burg.— Penn92
- Newtown Square??? Dudes and dudettes, I remember it when...there were trolley tracks all the way to 69th Street...The Greenhill Diner....The Timbers restaurant...Girard Bank...The Newtown Edgemont Little League placing 3rd in the Little League World Series (where are you Joe Catania?? Mike Allen?? Neil Powers???....no place like Delaware County...Saint Annie's it is!.............and guess who I used to see on Sunday at 6 a.m. Mass?? Broadcaster Bill Campbell....Coach Jack Ramsey..........lemme tell ya folks, "Palookaville" it ain't.....— cblank

Pipe down Ed4cars. People have the right to post whatever they want as long as it doesnt cross any lines. Some are haters, some are living vicariously through the best pitcher in baseball and all the bells and whistles that come along with it. Halladay deserves the rewards.— argonne- Amazing the bargains in the burbs. Reportedly, Utley's Center City condo was more than $4 million in '08, and Burrell's 5,400 CC condo was $2.6 million in 2004. And Halladay won't have to deal with the sound of garbage trucks rocketing up the canyon walls at 5 am. On the other hand, it's unlikely the Phils will spontaneously head for Roy's house way out in WC to celebrate WFC10.— kierenmcd
- What parish is he joining? I really hope he has reached past the age of reason and logic and determined that the notion of some ghost in the sky is predicated on human ignorance and stupidity. We have evolved past the idea that some "creator" is responsible for humanity . But that's probably just wishful thinking on my part.— phillyjeffsr
- Tonka, whatever the racial makeup of Newtown Square (which I suspect is not just white, but pretty heavily Mexican, at least during the day), let's cut the guy a break for wanting a retreat away from the unwashed masses of the urban Center City, which may be more white than Newtown Square. Name the last professional athlete with two or more kids to live within the city limits.— kierenmcd
- phillyjeffsr, from an agnostic, if you believe human reason and logic are infallible enough to affirmatively reject the idea of a supreme being, good luck. Besides, how else to explain Stairs' home run against Broxton in '08, and Rollins walk-off against him the very next year?— kierenmcd
