Historic homes, peaceful parks and annual community events are just a few reasons homebuyers consider moving to this suburban neighborhood just north of Philadelphia.
Brick colonials, split levels and ranch-style homes are common architectural styles in Hatfield. On Forest Avenue, the Oak Park Historic District is a unique section of the neighborhood featuring American Foursquares, Tudor Revivals and Prairie homes built in the early 1900s. Attached garages with cement driveways provide ample parking, and newly paved sidewalks make it easy for residents to take a morning jog. Originally a farmland community, Hatfield homes have “much larger yards than similar neighborhoods in the area,” says real estate professional and long-time Hatfield resident Peter Patkos. Many residents have installed in-ground pools or added wooden decks to their backyards. Homes in Hatfield can range from $300,000 to $1.3 million. Newly constructed, two-bedroom townhomes cost between $475,000 and $650,000 dollars. Four-bedroom Colonial Revivals built in the early 2000s list around $500,000. Meanwhile, a brand new four-bedroom Craftsmen can range from $800,000 to $1.1 million.
Children in Hatfield can attend schools in the North Penn School District. Rated an overall A-minus on Niche, Walton Farm Elementary is where children can go for kindergarten through sixth grade. Starting in seventh grade, students can attend Pennfield Middle School, which received an overall A rating on Niche. Pennfield offers a unique student assistance program where students who are struggling in school can identify their weaknesses and receive professional academic counseling. In 10th grade, teens can transition to North Penn Senior High School, which was rated an overall A on Niche. Ice hockey, football, and water polo are just a few of the sports teams students can join.
Hatfield residents can get some exercise at one of the four parks in Hatfield. On Cherry Street, Centennial Park is a peaceful three-acre park with landscaped gardens and stone walking path lined with large oak trees. In 1999, a community time capsule was buried at the park and is planned to be opened in 2048. The Hatfield Community Park and Pool on Chestnut Street is a twenty-five-acre park featuring a dog park, playground, and a fully equipped aquatics center. During the summer, children love sliding down the pool’s two water slides, and younger children splash around the kiddie pool. Athletes can practice their skills on the park’s baseball field and various sports courts.
Residents go to the centrally located Snyder Square to pick up groceries and household staples at Giant Food and Drugstore. On Bethlehem Pike, Produce Junction is a family-owned market with great deals on fresh produce and other groceries. Fewer than 3 miles away, Ralph’s Corner Shopping Center has a Kohl’s, Ross and Chick-fil-A. On Main Street, Hatfield Pizzeria is a local hot spot serving gourmet pizzas, build-your-own calzones and homemade pasta dishes.
According to Hatfield local, Peter Patkos, “living here is convenient because I can get to Souderton, Lansdale, Colmar, and Telfer County in less than five minutes.” Route 309 is a major highway residents can take to get to the nearby Jefferson Lansdale Hospital. Across the neighborhood, the Pennsylvania Turnpike makes it easy for locals to access Philadelphia and Lehigh Valley International Airport. Although most locals use a car to get around, Fortuna Transit Station is 3 miles away and provides residents an alternative way to get into the city.
On Lincoln Avenue, the Hatfield Auto Museum is a local attraction featuring a 100-year-old showroom with antique cars and a second floor, where guests can play a game of pool or grab a beer at the vintage bar. Every September, Hatfield hosts its annual Fall Fest and Car Show, where residents can show off their own antique vehicles and admire the pristine condition of others. In addition to the car show, this annual event features a live band, free activities for kids and delicious food from local vendors.
