Amazing Quakertown! - 1/3/2008

Quakertown is a fantastic area and an amazing place to live. The area offers a great small community feel and sense of family values. A great place to raise your children and for a wholesome, quality lifestyle without giving up conveniences. Schools are A+. Plenty of open areas, farmlands, and a great parks system - they even just completed a very nice 7 field softball complex for girls softball! Very convenient to the turnpike and major roads, easy commute to Allentown, Lehigh Valley, Philadelphia, King of Prussia. Close to historic New Hope and Doylestown and much less expensive! Great shopping in the city and 10 minutes away in Montgomeryville. Short drive to gorgeous Lake Nockamixon State Park and many county and local parks for recreation. Don't miss the Quakertown Farmers Market for the best butchers and freshest produce in PA! Could not imagine living anyplace else, we love it here![read more...]

Quakertown is small but growing - 3/12/2007

I've lived in Quakertown for 10 years now and it is a beautiful slice of suburban Pennsylvania. We are centrally located between Philadelphia and the Lehigh Valley (both are within a 30 minute drive). The area used to be mostly rural farm land but has been growing more and more over the past 10 years. It's great to see the new interest in the area and all the modernization it brings. If you are looking for a location in the megalopolis of the Northeast but want to save on cost of living, Quakertown and Upper Bucks County are an excellent choice. If you are looking for easy access to entertainment, upscale shopping, and the amenities of city-life, you might not enjoy the area.[read more...]
