Get a taste of the sweet life in Honey Brook.
Surrounded by rural farmland in Pennsylvania Amish country, Honey Brook is a small town with about 2,000 residents and a small collection of businesses that anchor the community. Honey Brook grew significantly around the start of the 20th century, as the community started building sidewalks, street lights and a water utility after the opening of a railway line between Philadelphia and Lancaster in the late 1800s. Originally named Waynesburg, the newly formed borough adopted its modern name, inspired by its origin as a section of nearby Nantmeal Township, which means 'sweet water' in Welsh.
You'll find an eclectic mix of housing styles even within the town center, where most of the area's homes are concentrated. Some Colonial Revival and farmhouse-like homes date to the mid-1800s and early 20th century. Since then, however, builders and developers through different eras constructed homes in architectural styles that were popular in their time. Horizontal and L-shaped ranch-style homes from the 1950s are typical, reflecting mid-century building trends. If you prefer homes with a little more elevation, modern Colonial Revivals and town houses are also available and under construction in new housing tracts near Honey Brook's original town center. You'll find low-cost manufactured homes starting at about $50,000 in parts of the community. With an average sales price of $375,000, however, home prices vary greatly. If you want something new, built within the last 25 years, with at least 1,500 square feet of living space, expect to pay at least $400,000.
Students in the community are part of the Twin Valley School District, which Niche ranks as the 5th best school district in Berks County with a B+ rating. Kids in the community start at the Honey Brook Elementary Center. At the secondary level, students take the bus or drive a few miles to Twin Valley Middle School and Twin Valley High School, both located on campus about 10 miles away, between the towns of Morgantown and Elverson. With a curriculum that prepares students for college and life after school, the high school offers more than 168 courses and career and technical education programs.
Next to the Honey Brook Borough Hall and Police Department, you'll find kids at the playground, dogs on leashes, and adults playing bocce ball, basketball or tennis at the park's array of hard surface courts. At the other corner of town, kids compete and learn lessons about sportsmanship playing with the Twin Valley Little League. Disrupting the pattern of farm fields and small housing developments, the Honeybrook Golf Club's 18-hole course and driving range, opened in 2000, spans 165 acres of an old dairy farm.
Returning from a game of golf, consider stopping by Little Anthony's pizzeria and grill for a slice of Sicilian-style pizza or a classic Philadelphia cheesesteak. For an even more retro experience, plop down in one of the vinyl-seat booths or a countertop chair at Wimpy and Dee's Diner. Don't worry if you're going with a group that includes a few picky eaters. The expansive menu features many options, including gluten-free dishes and classic malt milkshakes. Want an even more authentic experience you can only find in this part of the country? You can visit the Amish Farmers Market for fresh produce, flowers and other homemade goods from a small country store off the electrical grid on Route 10.
With freshly made fruit pies and other treats from the farmers market and natural beauty all around, Honey Brook lives up to its name.
