Big cities are accessible from rural Wrightstown

When Realtor Sarah Peters drives into Wrightstown, she passes rows of corn on one side of the road and soybean fields on the other. “You have bucolic rolling hills and a lot of farmland,” says Peters, team lead of the Sarah Peters Team at eXp Realty and an active real estate agent in the community. A mix of subdivisions, farms and Colonial-era homes defines the scenery in the Pennsylvania township, which is otherwise covered in trees and fields. Despite the rural trappings, the community is within 10 miles of shopping destinations and an interstate, the latter of which makes it possible for Philadelphia and New York commuters to settle in Wrightstown.

Large homes ranging from farms to historic properties

Equestrian and cattle farms dot the landscape, as do stone colonial-style homes from the 1700s and 1800s. Wide lots, colonial-inspired architecture and ranch rail fences give some of the community’s small subdivisions a farm-like feel. Houses average about 2,500 square feet, larger than the national average. Wrightstown’s proximity to the interstate draws many business executives who work in Philadelphia and New York, Peters says. “Because of that, it’s just a little bit pricey. The cost of living is just a little higher than in some other areas [of Bucks County].” Homes on the lower end of the price spectrum have sold from $470,000 to $605,000, but most recently sold houses cost from $750,000 to $2.2 million.

Middletown Grange Fair has been a local tradition for 50-plus years

The Middletown Grange Fair moved to Wrightstown in the ‘60s, and the community has been the home of the annual agricultural festival ever since. More than 50,000 people come to the fairgrounds over the course of five days in August for livestock shows, tractor pulls and live music. From May until Thanksgiving, dozens of vendors set up on Saturdays at the Wrightstown Farmers Market, selling items from locally raised pork to homemade pierogies.

Nearby I-295 aids the drive to Philadelphia, New York

Route 413 passes through car-dependent Wrightstown and leads south to Newtown Township and north toward Doylestown, home to Doylestown Health. Wrightstown residents live within 10 miles of Interstate 295, which motorists can use to drive 35 miles to Philadelphia or 70 miles to New York City. Philadelphia International Airport is the closest place to catch a commercial flight.
