Upper Providence Township offers suburban and rural Pennsylvania lands
Nature trails frame and wander through Upper Providence Township, tracing the Perkiomen Creek and Schuylkill River on either side. The community of about 10,000 residents is between Phoenixville and Collegeville in southeastern Pennsylvania, where homebuyers can find a suburban – and sometimes rural – landscape away from the city. “Upper Providence Township is huge,” says Mia Bloomfield, an independent salesperson with Compass Real Estate. “There is a lot to do out there. There are good restaurants, good school districts and a lot of the area is walkable; those draw people there. It’s also a little bit less expensive; you get more bang for your buck.” Shopping is easily accessible via the Providence Town Center or the nearby King of Prussia Mall, which have more than 500 storefronts between them, and major cities within Pennsylvania, Delaware and New Jersey are all under 50 miles away.

Winding trails thread their way through Upper Providence Township
Trails are the most prominent recreational feature of the community. Part of the Perkiomen Trail’s 19-mile span runs along the eastern boundary of Upper Providence Township, while portions of the Schuylkill River Trail line the water on the south and west sides. Other township trails make smaller pathways within the region. “There are bike trails and running trails with a lot of still-open space,” Bloomfield says. “Those are a draw. The Perkiomen Trail follows the creek; you start out in Malvern, and it goes all the way out.”
Locals can fish or launch boats from Lock 60 Recreation Area or see live animals at Upper Schuylkill Valley Park. Longford Park and Reynolds’ Dog Park sit on the south side. RiverCrest Golf Club & Preserve has a private, 18-hole course. In the central area of the community, the Upper Providence Little League complex and MacFarlan Park have eight baseball fields combined, along with a playground at MacFarlan.
Phoenixville and Upper Providence Township include a section of the 120 mile Schuylkill River Trail.

Renningers Farmer’s Market is a popular spot on Fridays and Saturdays for local produce. Just southwest, Phoenixville offers more options. “A lot of people are moving there because of the convenience,” Bloomfield says. “There are a lot of new restaurants in the downtown area, mostly independent restaurants. A lot of people go out there for dinner.” The King of Prussia Mall, which has more than 400 tenants, is just over 10 miles away.
