Northampton Township is a family-oriented area with numerous parks, local creeks and a variety of attractions northeast of Philadelphia. European settlers first moved to the area in the 18th century, establishing a farming community with a few mills, small stores and churches. Today, nearly 40,000 residents make up four main sections of a township that has expanded to include parks, trails and recreational facilities. “The township’s been around for a long time,” says Diane Rodgers, a lifelong resident and a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Hearthside. “There’s always something to do, there’s always something going on.”

A few miles east, Tyler State Park spans 1,711 acres and has a 36-hole disc golf course, sports fields and miles of walking trails. Public docks by the park's main picnic area provide canoe and kayak access to Neshaminy Creek, which is often fished for bluegill and smallmouth bass. The Tyler Park Center for the Arts hosts workshops and craft shows in a renovated barn. Nearby, the Northampton Valley Country Club's 18-hole golf course is open to the public. Other recreational facilities include Northampton Township Municipal Park, which has a playground, a butterfly garden and pickleball courts, and the Northampton Township Recreation Center, which offers yoga and Zumba classes. To the south, the 65-acre Churchville Nature Center is home to gardens and trails, and in nearby Trevose, TreeTrails Adventures offers zip lines, climbing platforms and ropes courses.

Townhomes, condos and single-family homes that include custom builds
Homes vary in style and size across the township’s subdivisions. “There’s something for everyone,” Rodgers says. “You’ve got everything from condos, townhomes and single-family homes. It runs a gamut.” One-bedroom condos and townhomes start at $230,000, while newer three-bedroom units can sell for up to $805,000. Single-family homes feature rambler, Colonial, traditional, Cape Cod and contemporary styles. Smaller houses start at around $405,000, while larger residences can run slightly over $900,000. More elaborate custom homes on larger lots sell for between $1 million to $2 million.
