It also gives you access to the scenic Power Line Trail. As the name implies, the paved trail is guided by power lines operated by PECO Energy. Lukens Park also has a public fitness court that welcomes everyone to work out. “The parks are well-maintained,” says Sundell. He adds that intermural sports are very popular in the community. Horsham is known to have some historic churches — Horsham Friends Meeting opened in 1803 and is on the National Register of Historic Places and is home to the Quaker School at Horsham. Gloria Dei Church or Old Swedes’ is also on the National Register of Historic Places. Jones Tabernacle African Methodist Episcopal Church is known for serving the local black community.Newer schools

Blair Mill has a Niche grade of B-minus, Hallowell has a B and Simmons has a B-plus. All three schools are 10 years old or less. Students then go to Keith Valley Middle School and Hatboro-Horsham Senior High School. Keith Valley has a B-plus niche grade, while Hatboro-Horsham has an A-minus. The high school is highly rated and is recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as a Blue Ribbon School of Excellence. Kieth Valley Middle is getting a major upgrade with a new state-of-the-art campus. The school will also have turf fields for students. The new building will be a welcome sight for students and faculty — the current building does not have central air. Sundell says the current school uses window units. The new structure is scheduled to open fall of 2025.Horsham Day is top attended event

Niche Review
The houses where built in the 1960s and many people original owners have remained living here until going to retirement village or death. Most people have dogs.

Niche Review
The parks and trials provide access to nature. There is a local nature center maintained my the school district here. Littering and water pollution can seem to be problematic at times.

Niche Review
Willow grove mall has high end stores, both that and Montgomery mall have popular stores and companies. Multiple plazas around have big companies like Walmart, Target, Kohl's, Lowe's, Home Depot, etc. Hatboro is comprised of many thrift shops and small businesses, "mom-and-pop shops". But all local businesses require driving to get to, not walk-able.
