The National Register Newtown Historic District extends across the majority of the Borough.
Newtown Borough is a 0.6-square-mile, small-town community surrounded by Newtown Township in Lower Bucks County. The borough’s history dates back to the time of William Penn, and its present-day buildings and pattern of development still reflect its early American origins. The borough has a traditional street grid and a remarkable number of intact structures from the 18th and 19th centuries. Newtown’s pedestrian scale, residential neighborhoods, and convenient access to goods and services make it a very desirable place to live and work.
While the borough is almost completely built-out and population has declined slightly in recent years, robust growth in the Newtown area has been spurred by its accessibility to transportation facilities and employment. The area is convenient to employment centers in Bucks and Montgomery Counties, Philadelphia, New Jersey, and even New York City, with access to Interstate 295 and U.S. Route 1, regional rail, and bus transit. Newtown sits at the terminus of the Newtown Rail Line, which years ago provided passenger rail service between Fox Chase, Philadelphia, and Newtown Borough.
For those with green thumbs, gardening plots are available to cultivate your favorite veggies and flowers. The community also features a ballroom, library, billiards room, table tennis, outdoor patio, multi-purpose/meeting rooms, and a gazebo, providing endless opportunities for recreation and enjoyment. The community is conveniently located to road, rail and air. It is easy to visit Philadelphia, Princeton an a 1 hour commute to Wall Street,
