Suburban living close to waterways in Falls Township
Falls Township lies in the crook of a bend in the Delaware River, a largely suburban southeastern Pennsylvania community – at least on the north side. Much of the southern portion is interlaced with causeways crossing waterways and lakes, as well as an industrial park currently in development. A highly rated school district for students, as well as housing prices, serve as major draws for the community. “The biggest thing is the school district and affordability,” says Christine Mantwill, a Realtor with Re/Max Properties who has worked as an agent for 30 years and grew up in neighboring Levittown. “There are a lot of homeowners in Falls Township.” Trenton is just across the river, and proximity to Interstates 295 and 95, as well as Route 1, means commuters can call Falls Township home while hitting the road each day for work.

Single-family homes with architectural variety in Falls Township
Housing is entirely concentrated in the northern half of Falls Township, lending the community its residential character. “It’s all suburban, but housing depends on what part of Falls Township you’re in,” Mantwill says, adding that some Levittown Jubilee-style homes are in the area. “It’s kind of a mix, and a lot of people are turning their Jubilees into colonial-style homes. They’re dormering out the second floor, blowing out those eaves to make it look like a colonial.”
Ranch-style homes, colonial-style homes, Cape Cods and split-levels are commonly found in Falls Township as a whole. The single-family homes often cost between $320,000 and $600,000. “Pricing is all over the place, depending on the styles of house and what upgrades have been done to it,” Mantwill says. Townhouses sit in the northwest corner, typically costing between $330,000 and about $600,000. Most manufactured homes are in central Falls Township, usually priced between $50,000 and $180,000.

The abundant watersheds in and around Falls Township allow for many recreational opportunities. “There are a bunch of parks in Falls Township and they all offer different things,” Mantwill says. “Quaker Penn Park has a boat ramp, so you can get into the Delaware River with a boat or jet ski.” The park also has sports fields and a pavilion.

The Pennsylvania Turnpike is nearly 10 miles south.
