Trooper offers a small, connected suburban community

Trooper is a small unincorporated community in Montgomery County that puts residents near an array of things to do without being in the heart of the city. There are lots of movie theaters and lots of parks. Valley Forge Park is nearby, and there are farm parks nearby,” says Kelly Stipa, a Realtor at Springer Group Realty with 27 years of experience. Stipa also notes that King of Prussia Mall, the fourth-largest in the country, is close to the community. In addition to all the attractions in the area, buyers also come to Trooper for the highly rated school district and the stable home values. This suburban community is about 25 miles from Philadelphia and not far from the Norristown Transit Center, making it a convenient choice for buyers who commute into Center City.

Dining at locally owned restaurants and shopping at expansive malls

Trooper provides residents with a mix of shopping and dining options. “There are a lot of restaurants that are locally owned by families. You have an opportunity to not go to chain restaurants,” Stipa says. Spots on Main Street include Keystone Grill, a diner known for its breakfast food. Tosco Pizza & Italian Restaurant serves hearty portions in a casual dining area. While the locally owned options are popular, chains like Popeyes, Burger King and Wawa are nearby. King of Prussia Mall is about 7 miles from town and home to over 450 stores, including Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus and Bloomingdale’s. Groceries are available at stores on Main Street, like Lidl and Acme Markets.
