Agricultural history and housing variety in Richboro
Richboro is one of five unincorporated communities within Northampton Township and boasts a rich agricultural heritage dating back to the 1700s. The community officially emerged in the late 1800s, when retired farmers established their forever homes here. Today, it's recognized for its top-rated school district and wide range of housing options meeting everyone from first-time to luxury buyers. Richboro offers a relaxed pace of life, less than 30 miles from Philadelphia. "You're not too far from major highways to get you where you want to go," says Realtor Christine Mantwill of Re/Max Properties, who specializes in the region. "There is a lot of farmland in Richboro and the surrounding areas. When you're driving around, you don't feel close to everything, and yet you are."

Everything from modest to luxury homes and a wide price range
Lot sizes range from less than half an acre to multiple acres in Richboro, which is unsurprising, given its agricultural roots and neighborhood variety. "You have a bunch of little pockets of communities; older communities with cute little ranch-style homes, and then you have your big multi-million-dollar houses," Mantwill says. High-end communities feature more custom builds and frequently have in-ground pools surrounded by meticulously landscaped yards. Prices range from $350,000 to $760,000 based on age, condition, lot size and quality — with farmland views and corner lots being desirable. Large, luxury properties fetch between $820,000 and $1.5 million.

Learning and strolling at Churchville Nature Center
Churchville Nature Center is an important community touchpoint that celebrated its 60th year in 2025. "If you interview 10 families you'll hear 10 different reasons people come here," Tanya Oznowich, the educational outreach specialist, says.
