| We live in the Maryland burbs and are considering a move to this area for work. I know only what I have read online. Would love some feedback of where you would choose to live if the person working needed to be at locations in Newtown and Ben Salem. Budget up to 2 million and flexible on public versus private. |

| Newtown or Yardley probably. Maybe New Hope or out toward Doylestown if you were inclined, but I am partial to Newtown/Yardley. |

Solebury is also something you can search by. I mentally lump with New Hope so did not think to mention at first. |

What do you like about Newtown/Yardley? There isn’t much housing inventory in the $1-3 million range! It seems that is further north but may be too far out for us. Thanks for your response. |

This is bananas. I went to look and see what was going on and an old friend from my 20s grew up in this house! https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/4-Sprucefield-Ct-New-Hope-PA-18938/9095808_zpid/ THe vanity in the guest room is the same! |

It's a lovely home! I think it's too far out for OP given a need to commute to Bensalem. OP, if you check in, how often will you have to be in Philadelphia, how often do you have to be in Newtown? What's your lifestyle like? Number of kids, types of hobbies? I like Newtown and yardley for their main street vibe, but being close to Philadelphia, close enough to New York. Tell me a little about your general politics too. |

I meant how often do you have to be in Bensalem! |

| Belated but if you need public schools and aren’t MAGA look carefully at the district. Bucks County is center right to moderate generally but some very reputable districts have had their boards hijacked. There are great private schools in the area too, though. |
