Whitpain Township has a connection with Revolutionary history
Within Whitpain Township is a local landmark with a connection to our nation's history. The Blue Bell Inn served as a resting spot for George Washington during the Revolutionary War, and today, it continues to welcome guests as a fine-dining establishment. “The Blue Bell Inn is a staple restaurant,” says local real estate agent Daniel Geib with Realty One Group. “It’s definitely a favorite among locals.” The aesthetic of the community surrounding the town’s centerpiece appears to jump right out of a fairy tale.

Cottages, Colonial Revivals and actual Colonials
Homes in Whitpain Township were largely constructed during the midcentury, but it’s not unusual to find a property or two dating back to the 18th century. In this community, Colonial Revivals intermix with actual Colonials, as well as neighboring single-family homes in the style of quaint farmhouses and cottages. These wooded subdivisions are lined with sizable yards, big enough for gardens out front and playgrounds out back. Most homes offer close to 3,000 square feet and range in price from $550,000 to $700,000. Those with more than 5,000 square feet can reach nearly $2 million. Without many sidewalks, sleepy streets allow for walking on the road. Townhome developments — including Blue Bell Woods, Whitpain Farm, Steeple Chase and Pheasant Run — offer units priced between $350,000 and $700,000.
Historic Colonial homes in Whitpain Township date back to the late 1800s.

Surrounded by nature preserves with unique features
Adult and youth athletic leagues congregate at Wentz Run Park, where sports courts and ball fields accompany a sand volleyball pit. Hikers and equestrians, however, flock to Armentrout Preserve, where 57 acres of new and old-growth forests are carved with unpaved trails. Camp Woods Preserve is a historical landmark of local legend, where George Washington’s army supposedly camped out during the Revolutionary War. Today, the natural area includes an “exclosure” where healthy forest flora can grow, untouched by deer and humans alike. Four Mills Nature Reserve is one of the most popular spots to visit. “I bring my kid fishing there all the time to catch trout in Wissahickon Creek," Geib says. The pristine ponds and green space surrounding Prophecy Creek are lit up by old-fashioned lamps at sundown. But those looking for all-inclusive amenities can check out the nearby country clubs of Bluestone and Cedar Brook.

Retail essentials are nearby, along with local restaurants
The essentials are commonly found along Route 202 and West Skippack Pike, two of Whitpain Township's most frequented thoroughfares. The Blue Bell Inn has been open since 1743, named for the blue bell erected after George Washington’s frequent visits during the Revolutionary War. Signature plates and cocktails continue attracting guests today after centuries of evolution. Panache Woodfire Grill is another local hot spot, where wood-fired pizza and other Italian dishes are served on a cozy patio. Chain retailers like Kohl’s and HomeGoods are found in nearby shopping centers, along with grocers like Giant, Aldi and McCaffrey’s Food Market, a popular regional chain providing locally sourced produce.
Shopping at local markets is one of the many perks of living in Whitpain Township.

Commuter-friendly public transportation and thoroughfares
Whitpain Township's commuters can expect a 22-mile ride southeast on Interstate 76 to reach the City of Brotherly Love. But Philadelphia International Airport is about 31 miles south on I-476, another nearby thoroughfare. Those looking to commute farther can reach New York City in 100 miles via I-95 or stop in Trenton about 36 miles into the trip. Both Route 202 and West Skippack Pike are central roads lined with amenities and casual eateries, the former offering SEPTA bus stops every few blocks along with Dekalb Pike. A handful of train stations are nearby, too, including Penllyn and Norfolk Southern. The closest emergency room is at Einstein Medical Center Montgomery, located about 6 miles west in East Norriton.
