Laverock is a small unincorporated community in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, United States that started as a development in the 1920s. Originally, few homes were built after the onset of the depression, and remained that way until after World War II. In the 1950s and 1960s, Split Level Homes were built around the existing stone houses. Today, it is a residential-only neighborhood known for the abundance of large black oak trees throughout. Laverock shares its zipcode with Glenside, Pennsylvania and is part of Cheltenham Township and Springfield Township.
