Why Live in Bensalem
Bensalem was first outlined in 1692 and is almost as old as the state it is located in. The Pennsylvania township’s population started to boom in the 1950s, thanks to businesses and industries moving into the area that had primarily been farmland for centuries, and now boasts more than 62,000 residents. Fortune ranked it the 26th-best place to live for families in the country in 2023, and its close-knit community frequently gathers to take in concerts, explore nature or even test their luck at the state’s largest casino – which also features a horse racing track.
Less than 20 miles northeast of Philadelphia, residents have no shortage of accessibility to the city or major roads, but an array of subdivisions give Bensalem a reserved, quiet feel. “Bensalem is sort of your first large suburb you hit going out of northeast Philadelphia,” says Sean Elstone, a Realtor with Keller Williams Main Line Realty. “It’s another sort of hub, right off the turnpike as well. It has easy access to New Jersey from Bensalem, and easy access to northeast Philadelphia and Center City. Bensalem has a lot of industrial areas.” With a setting along the Delaware River, fed by the Poquessing and Neshaminy
