A rural borough located about an hour northwest of Philadelphia, Perkiomen Township's biggest appeal is its tranquil location. Established in 1886 and home to just under 10,000 residents, this is a land of rolling hills, green fields and tall trees, bordered by Perkiomen Creek. “It is out in the middle of nowhere, but close enough to all the amenities,” says Megan Herr, a Realtor with Re/Max Ready who has several homes listed in the area. "One of Perkiomen Township’s biggest draws is how green everything is. Many people have moved out here to tend their own farmettes.” These plots of land are large enough to grow some crops and raise chickens and goats. The area is also home to large public green spaces, such as the 800-acre Central Perkiomen Valley Park and nearby Evansburg State Park.

Subdivisions and colonial homes
Within Perkiomen Township are several subdivisions with contemporary colonials, townhomes and ranch-style houses that date from the 1990s to the early 21st century. Homes in these communities sit back on spacious lawns from quiet, sidewalk-lined streets. They typically boast about 2,000 square feet, with at least three bedrooms and quarter-acre lots. Split levels, ranch-style homes and traditional colonials from the 1960s exist outside the subdivisions on larger, half-acre lots. “Inventory in Perkiomen Township is low. Prices for a two-story colonial can be between $400,000 and $700,000,” Herr says. “People looking for larger homes on farmettes with between 3 and 10 acres of land can expect to pay between $700,000 and $1 million.” The community's low Cap Index crime score is 2 out of 10, well below the national average of 4.
