Buckingham
Suburban Neighborhood in Doylestown, Pennsylvania
Bucks County 18902, 18925, 18938, 18940
Find a peaceful blend of suburban and rural living in the township of Buckingham, Pennsylvania. Located 40 miles north of Philadelphia in Bucks County and home to a population of 20,000, Buckingham offers residents spacious homes, sprawling lots and top-rated schools.
“Buckingham has a lot of interconnected suburban neighborhoods that are really nice,” says Sarah Peters, Realtor with Keller Williams Real Estate – Doylestown. “Kids can hop on their bikes and go visit their friends pretty easily most of the time. It’s a very wholesome place to raise a family. There are also some rural properties and a lot of preserved farmland and conservancy efforts.”
Take a cruise through Buckingham, and you’re bound to end up on one of the area’s two main thoroughfares, Route 202 and Durham Road. On these leafy, tree-lined roads, you’ll pass several shopping centers, a few restaurants, large, solitary homes perched on swaths of land, and streets that offshoot to small residential clusters. You can find a range of housing architecture in Buckingham, with colonials being the area’s predominant style. Here, you can get a colonial with three to five bedrooms for between $400,000 and $1.5 million, depending on the house’s condition, size and lot size. According to Peters, homes sell quickly if they’re in good condition.
Kids in Buckingham can attend Buckingham Elementary School, Holicong Middle School and Central Bucks High School-East. These schools all belong to the Central Bucks School District, which receives an overall grade of A from Niche. Central Bucks High School-East is ranked as the #1 Best Public High School in Bucks County by Niche, along with an overall grade of A+. “CB East was just voted one of the best public high schools in the state of Pennsylvania in US News & World Report’s 2023 Best High Schools report,” Peters says. “After that was released, several of our million-dollar homes sold in under two weeks — and both buyers had high school-aged children.”
Enjoy the outdoors at Holicong Park, located on York Road. This popular public park was expanded from 24 acres to a whopping 83 acres in 2021, and with this expansion came brand new soccer and lacrosse fields, tennis and pickleball courts, a new playground, picnic areas and over 2 miles of paved scenic trails. You can also immerse yourself in nature at the beautiful Hansell Park on Hansell Road. Take a peaceful stroll on the park’s winding, wooded paths and enjoy the scenic pond. During the summer, locals gather at Hansell Park for their Summer Concert Series, held at the large outdoor amphitheater and spacious open field.
When hungry, head to Baci Ristorante & Heart of Oak Pub on Bogarts Tavern Road. This unique, two-level restaurant offers a menu that specializes in both Northern Italian cuisine and English pub dishes, along with plenty of traditional American classics. Enjoy a rich pasta dish or crispy fish and chips in a cozy, old-world atmosphere. If you’re craving pizza, head to Buckingham Pizza on York Road for a deliciously cheesy pie.
Head to None Such Farm Market, located in a big red barn on York Road, for local produce, meats and prepared foods. When you want a supermarket, you can head 5 miles west to GIANT in the Cross Keys Place shopping center. For the rest of your shopping, swing by Buckingham Green Shopping Center where you’ll find a diverse range of local shops and boutiques.
Though Buckingham offers residents a wide variety of amenities, the township manages to maintain a rural, small-town feel. When the vibrant, active energy of the city calls, an hour-and-a-half drive south will land you in the heart of Philadelphia.
